Absurdism.
Absurdism is the philosophical theory, very similar to Existentialism and nihilism. they all share the belief that the universe is meaningless.
Proponents of absurdism like Albert Camus(Father of Absurdism) claim that humans are meaning-seekers, but they cannot find anything meaningful because there is no intrinsic meaning in the universe. and this conflict between the humans incessant desire and the meaningless world has made life absurd. Albert Camus gives as a final possible solution how humans may react to absurdism . . . instead of confronting the world in search of meaning, humans must understand the absurdity of the universe and rebel against the absurd Nature itself.
whereas nihilism argues that we must understand not only that there is no intrinsic meaning in the universe, but also that it makes no sense to try to construct our own meaning as a substitute or solution.
