absurdist
含义: Relating to or characteristic of the philosophical or artistic view that human existence is fundamentally meaningless and irrational; also a practitioner of absurdism.
Absurdist describes works or ideas rooted in the belief that attempts to find meaning in the universe are doomed to fail. In literature and theatre, it is closely associated with the Theatre of the Absurd — Beckett, Ionesco, and Pinter — and with the philosophical writings of Camus. The term implies a deliberate confrontation with meaninglessness, often expressed through dark humour, circular logic, and deliberately illogical scenarios. It collocates with 'absurdist theatre', 'absurdist comedy', 'absurdist humour', and 'absurdist philosophy'.
