I am starting with philosophy and needed guide
Hello community members, I am starting with philosophy and I am bit confused. I am most likely drawn to existentialism, absurdism and nihilism with a strong inclination towards individual freedom and rejecting societal norms. I questions everything that society imposes - religion, morality and political structures.
I used to be a theist but now I turned agnostic theist, or more spritual but very less or non religious.
I want to start with Camus, kafka and Dostoevsky but I am confused.
If I go with kafka, his writings feels or revolves around a feeling of loneliness and inadequate and burdened by the society (this is what chatgpt told me) and he is also a agnostic, which suits me
If I go with Dostoevsky, he is a complete theist, I like his works as they are about faith suffering and redumption.
Idk i could not understand Camus. Anyone who is willing to help me to understand Camus will be appreciated.
To whom should I read, why and how will it help me? What impact it will or may have on me religiously, psychologically and spritually?
Thanks already!
