Je Suis Meursault | Ep. 1
What if it’s essentially all the same? For Meursault, the protagonist of Albert Camus's The Stranger, life lacks a grand purpose. This episode dives headfirst into this perspective, exploring the existential cocktail of absurdity, the burden of societal expectation, and the radical freedom found in accepting that some things are simply meaningless.
In this episode, you’ll learn about:
Why Meursault’s brutal honesty about his own apathy makes him a greater monster to society than the crime he commits.How Camus uses the sun, the trial, and the "gentle indifference of the world" to build a powerful philosophy of the absurd.Ready to question everything?

From Book to Mind
We use books as a gateway to explore the science, art, philosophy, and more, celebrating the pursuit of intellectual curiosity. Books are the "topic for all topics", the ultimate common denominator for knowledge and ideas. This podcast is built on the notion that the true value lies not only in deep expertise in one area, but also in the ability to connect various fields. Also, we embrace the future by using artificial intelligence to transform original, human-made thoughts (as published at zknihydohlavy.cz) into this podcast.
