What is the Absurdist Shibboleth?
So I’ve been heavily involved in Philosophy since first completing my Bachelor’s under the mentorship of a leading philosopher at my university (can’t say who to not dox myself). I’ve practically read it all from Camus, O’Brien, and Ionesco, yet I recently saw a post here that made me realize that absurdism is far from as organized as its other philosophical brothers. What I mean, is that, despite being an extremely widespread philosophical belief, it doesn’t have any symbols that immediately are recognizable as purely absurd. The Buddhists have the Buddha, Confucianists have the Bell, Stoics have the Bull/Scales, Abrahamic religions have their own identifiable set of symbols, Nihilism has 0 > 1, yet Absurdism lacks any identifiable symbols that easily distinguishes the symbol-bearer as an absurdist. With that being said, do you guys know of any symbols used to represent absurdism?
