- Albert Camus

About this Quote

Albert Camus' quote recommends that suicide is the just really serious philosophical problem. He suggests that all other philosophical questions are secondary to the concern of suicide. This is due to the fact that suicide is a life-altering choice that has an extensive influence on the specific and those around them. It is a decision that requires deep consideration and consideration of the effects. Camus' quote suggests that all other philosophical questions are minor in contrast to the gravity of the decision to take one's own life. He suggests that suicide is the only philosophical issue that has real-world implications and repercussions. By recommending that suicide is the just really severe philosophical problem, Camus is stressing the value of understanding the ramifications of this decision and the importance of considering the repercussions prior to making such a life-altering choice.
