... this or that evil in the universe. The difference between these two opens up the possibility for what I call theist absurdism, which holds: - we can see a reason for a physical or moral evil when we consider it as physical or moral ... without qualification. And this is why I think St. Thomas’s response to the problem of evil is best described, without irony, as “theist absurdism”.

... observing the conflict, then offering up a quote or little bit of logic that pokes holes in what was discussed so far and deflates all hot air of the conversation. Will hopefully be as gender ambiguous as possible and exist as an earthy, spiritual sort of Big Electron type character just to bring an Absurdism ring to things in the style of Lewis Carol's Cheshire Cat. So, yes, no, maybe so?

... very little that ironic, sour kitsch or crying naked in a bathtub can add to modern discourse. Once you enter a urinal (that wasn't even crafted by you) into an art show - you have said everything there is to say about absurdism, about the conventions of art, about the art snobs (the gallery owners, the curators, the art critics) about what can be considered art and how to define it, and use ...

... exciting new series of collaborative artworks by legendary cult film maker Alejandro Jodorowsky and striking artist Pascale Montandon. Together they have created a wonderful merging of talents, with pen and inks by Alejandro and watercolours by Pascale, covering various themes including; Love, Violence, Spritiuality, Psychomagik / Psychogenology, Tarot, Absurdism and other Jodorowskian subjects.

... to a series of plays written by the likes of Samuel Beckett, Gertrude Stein and Eugene Ionesco, which I assumed meant that I’d be sitting down to a heaping helping of absurdism. And when the three on-stage actors (there were also a few “hecklers” embedded in the audience) started miming various unrelated activities while spewing a lengthy list of obscure adverbs in response to ...

At last I made my way through one of Camus' most famous novels, one that perhaps most embraces his philosophy of absurdism. I had read The Stranger in the spring and found it fantastically insightful as an individual finds himself in an odd place, but The Plague operates at a more ambitious level, putting an entire city of 200,000 into an eerily similar position. The book is, in essence, a ...

... the last great decade of unselfconscious ridiculousness. Our most ridiculous exports as a decade, Kanye and Gaga, have way too much of a knowing wink behind everything they do. We need to steer away from all this self-aware absurdism we’ve had in the last 10 years because we could all use a hearty laugh at Eric Nies expense again. Prive at Planet Hollywood has Team Pacquiao in for a pre- ...

... Of Williams, about "She's Madonna," we'd nearly forgotten how unbelievably great and gorgeous the whole thing is. Slow-mo! Drag queens! Self-awareness! Role reversals! Pet Shop Boys! The pitch-perfect, straight-faced absurdism. "You're a good guy, Robbie." Every acclaimed music-video of the last three years can only be embarrassed for trying.

... really? The BF's more into paganism than I am, as I tend towards something of a homebrewed blend of philosophy in lieu of other beliefs; somewhere between Zen, Absurdism, and Existentialism. Everything is. Geek: YES. Probably what I identify most readily with, though most of my geekery is pretty varied, I imagine. On the more prosaic end, tabletop RPGs are my particular crack of choice, ...

... img / src=" style="WIDTH: 250px;">  The speeches from the winners were, frankly, not particularly memorable, but, then, writers are not, all appearances to the contrary, performers. Meanwhile, there was the absurdism of press row—a series of tableclothed bleacher seating with waiters providing wine, and then, behind a curtain, food in the form of crustless sandwiches. It ...

The Bald Soprano at Cutting Ball Theater (San Francisco's specialists in absurdism) has just been extended until mid-December! I saw the play tonight, and thought that I would have to blog about it in my typical "it's-great-but-it's-closing-sorry-I-didn't-see-it-sooner" fashion. But then I learned of the extension--so, congrats to Cutting Ball for a great start to their ...

... out watchable. Surprising, then, how watchable it the movie is, and how its improvisation appears not as ostentation but as a barely-detectable engine of both refreshing realism and delightful absurdism. We open on a set of lives as tiresome and stifling as their milieu, which, though technically un-communist for over a decade, still bears deep scars both aesthetic and aspirational. We meet ...

... advance a few ranks. The '67 version, stars chipmunk-cheeked Jo Shishido as a killer who loves the smell of rice cooking. It was a stylish 60's black-and-white noir exercise in absurdism. The studio gave it to Suzuki along with a minimal budget to make a violent B-movie. The finished movie got him blackballed for 10 or 20 years. The 2001 version makes a few changes. The Number 3 Killer, ...

... -satisfied and superiority-complex'd thinking, that they seem to leave out rather vital matters from their author tracts. THAT BEING SAID, I could just be missing something. Oh, and #2, I made this vid for English, about the absurdism of Camus. Sorry if it's unintelligible. That's all for now. Oh, just for the record, I am so happy it is a brief vacation for Thanksgiving. SO HAPPY.
