Death and Nothingness — Will to Emancipation
The question that "how one should live?" constitutes the ultimate question of philosophy according to Aristotle. According to Camus "there is only one really serious philosophical problem, and that is suicide." The riddle and our predicament is that these two questions are exactly one and the same question. [Why?] ------ [Because for example] Nietzsche, in claiming that "the beggars should be entirely abolished ... truly it is annoying to give to them and it is annoying one not to give to them", has spectacularly failed to notice that there is another logical option: simply to abolish the observer. (Especially that nowadays we witness live-stream genocide, punctuated by commercials, comfortably numb.) The option also resolves Ivan Karamazov's problematic: "if I must love my fellow man, he had better hide himself, for no sooner do I see his face than there is an end to my love for him".
