Spiritual Snobbery?

Post by bill »

It is a kind of spiritual snobbery that makes people think they can be happy without money.
Albert Camus (1913 - 1960)

Any thoughts?

It's basically rubbish, and a form of philosophical snobbery in its own right.

Camus was in desperate need of some Zen. His concept of the Absurd is quite sound as far as it goes - but that's the trouble. It doesn't go far enough. Beyond the absurd is the ordinary.
