Absurdism is a philosophical and literary movement that emerged in the mid-twentieth century, and it is characterized by a sense of meaninglessness and irrationality in the human condition. Absurdists believe that the universe is fundamentally incomprehensible and meaningless, and that humanity's attempts to find purpose or order in life are ultimately futile. Absurdism often focuses on the struggle of individuals to find meaning and purpose in a world that is seemingly random and chaotic, and it explores themes of despair, isolation, and the absurdity of existence. Some of the most famous works of absurdism include Samuel Beckett's play "Waiting for Godot" and Albert Camus' novel "The Stranger."
