Abstract

The article focuses on the concept of "philosophical suicide" as discussed in the context of religious education, particularly through the lens of Albert Camus' work, "The Myth of Sisyphus." It explores the epistemic harm associated with philosophical suicide and questions its necessity in educational settings. The research includes a summary of Camus' views, a review of related literature, and proposed revisions to clarify the distinction between philosophical suicide and lucidity. The study ultimately advocates for a religious education that addresses spiritual issues while aligning with a philosophical understanding of the absurd human condition. [Extracted from the article]
