The Zhuangzi - Chapter 29 (Zhi the Bandit)

The Zhuangzi is an ancient Chinese text that is one of the two foundational texts of Taoism, alongside the Tao Te Ching. It was written during the late Warring States period (476–221 BC) and is named for its traditional author, Zhuang Zhou, who is customarily known as "Zhuangzi" ("Master Zhuang").Chapter 29 tells of a character, Robber Zhi, critiquing Confucian morality."Therefore he who sets his eyes on reputation will find that it is nowhere to be seen; he who seeks for gain will find that it is not to be gotten."Buy Me a Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/pallettownPaypal donate: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?business=CQ68PXMWB7G8Y&no_recurring=0¤cy_code=CAD

My Understanding of Albert Camus's Absurd

I wanted to share my thoughts on Camus's philosophy on the meaning of life, as a lot of what I read on my channel will share themes with this. I believe that Camus meant that freedom came from not giving in to the absurd, even if it may not include seeking the most desirable outcome.

Humans Are Determined by Baron D'Holbach, from The System of Nature

Paul Thiry, Baron d'Holbach, known as d'Holbach, was a Franco-German philosopher, encyclopedist and writer, who was a prominent figure in the French Enlightenment. He was born in Edesheim, near Landau in the Rhenish Palatinate, but lived and worked mainly in Paris, where he kept a salon. He helped in the dissemination of "Protestant and especially German thought", particularly in the field of the sciences, but was known more for his atheism and voluminous writings against religion, famously including The System of Nature (1770) and The Universal Morality (1776).
