Somewhat barely exploring philosophy with values I find to help. If anyone can leave any book or reading recommendations on optimistic nihilism and Absurdism?

all albert camus. i wouldnt say optimistic nihilism is the best “philosophy” to follow. to be a nihilist is to define life’s meaning as “meaningless,” when, in reality, it is trying to define something which we cannot define.

life might be meaningless. it might not be. you don’t know, and its arrogant to say that it is.
