Beyond the Illusion. Navigating Existentialism and the Theatre of the Absurd

      Аннотация: “Beyond the Illusion” delves into two influential ideas: how people make sense of life (‘Existentialism’) and how plays show life’s confusion (‘Theatre of the Absurd’). The book explains where these ideas come from, like from philosophers like Kierkegaard and Nietzsche. It shows how plays like “Waiting for Godot” use strange situations and words to make people think about life’s puzzling parts. The book says these ideas help us see how life can feel empty or strange, and how people can choose to find meaning even when it's not clear. It also talks about how these ideas show up in other arts like movies and music. The book helps us understand deeper things about being human and how we find meaning in our confusing world.
