These disquisitions inquire about the notion of the absurd developped by Albert Camus and its practical consecuences for our existence. mesure in which the acknowledgement of absurdity and to behave accordingly to this clairvoyance implies or not the acceptance of self-imposed death. More generally, if this position entails the denial and destruction of the other, through the everything is permitted dostoievskian nihilist maxim or, otherwise, what implications could the aknowledgment of absurdity have for mankind. On the hand, they analyze the bonds between absurdity, hope, hopelessness, despair and suicide. They examine the nature of absurd consciousness, in order to establish if it is or is not a permanently reached state, in which oneself does not have to worry anymore about it, or if it involves the constant exercise of an always vigilant reflection in a incessant risk of falling into a extreme. They also wonder if, starting from an absurd view of the world, one can deduce certain kind of apathy towards the others or if, from this clairvoyance, emerge the posibility to create sympathy for the other and, therefore, it opens the door of understanding. They explore the paths to which the aknowledgemend of the absurdity leads through multiple literary figures and some examples created by the argelian thinker, such as: Scipio and Caligula, from the play Caligula; Meursault, from the novel The stranger; Tarrou and Rieux, from The plague, among others. Finally, they make a brief reflection about the reason why a consequent attitude with the absurd consciousness is closely linked with art and general human creation.
