Albert Camus' concept of the absurdity of human existence is rooted in the idea that there is an inherent disconnect between the human desire for meaning and purpose in life and the apparent indifference and lack of inherent meaning in the universe. This disconnect, according to Camus, gives rise to a fundamental tension and a sense of absurdity.But the the notion that space-time is fundamental, and consciousness is an emergent property of it, remains an assumption that sparks ongoing debates. Some argue from a materialistic standpoint, while others propose that consciousness is fundamental itself.Let's consider the scenario where consciousness is fundamental. In this view, the universe/space-time is emergent property of consciousness itself. From this perspective, humans and the universe were never truly separate entities.Given this premise, how would such a paradigm redefine Albert Camus' definition of absurdity? If we acknowledge that humans and the universe are essentially manifestations of a unified consciousness, but appearing separate, how might Camus have defined absurdity within this framework?One possibility is that Camus could have asserted that consciousness itself is absurd because of its miraculous nature. The very existence of consciousness would be seen as a marvel—a phenomenon that defies rational explanation ?TLDR If consciousness were considered fundamental and the prevailing notion was that humans and the universe are actually one consciousness appearing to be separated from each other, would it resulted in alternative definition of absurdity in the context of Albert Camus' philosophy ?
