Is Mersault amoral, or just true to his nature: There is no God, and I don't make the leap of faith in order to escape from meaninglessness, I do not live according to the Divine Plane. This world is absurd, and I am guided by the invisible hand of randomness.
What do you think? Do absurd philosophy is a recipe for life, or just escapism defeated rationalism of the 20th century?
Mersault kills the man with no regrets, was charged, with no remorse, his mother dies, he is indifferent. "The mother is just a woman who gave me birth", says one of the absurd heroes.
There is an interesting parallel with Dostoyevsky's Raskolnikov. Raskolnikov kills the old woman and suffer from the consequences of Christian morality. He was tortured by extraordinary guilt. Mersault, in contrast, is indifferent - the world is absurd. No need to look for morale when everything is meaningless. The world can not be rationally explained.
