Hakuna Matata sec19 Group 3 CAMUS

WE didnt have any time to really discuss Camus with all the presentations but for just a quick overview here is a summary of our reading on Camus: He believed that life was completely meaningless, but that it was still preferable over suicide. They called this existentialism and eventually it turned into a form of cult that just sat around talking about how meaningless life is. Camus compared our meaningless life to Sisyphus who was punished by having to roll a boulder up a mtn just for it to fall back down and do it all over again.

  1. Camus was an interesting guy wish some interesting beliefs. The ideas of existentialism sort of remind me of hippies.

    Popper and Kuhn
    questions:
    Factual-Popper came up with the scientific method, true or false?
    Discussion- Did Kuhn's paradigm mean people were unable to change their framework of thinking?

    Camus' view on life were quite depressing yet intriquing nonetheless.

    Popper and Kuhn:

    Factual: What did Popper call science that was not falsifiable? pseudo-science

    Discussion: Whom do you agree with, Popper or Kuhn?
