Discoursing with an ancient sacred text
This blog is a philosophical exploration of the Song of Songs. My project explores a Cixousian (écriture féminine) encounter with biblical literature along subjective existential lines. In particular I am exploring life, meaningfulness, encounter and freedom as these contradict death, absurdity, separation and oppression. This discourse with the Song of Songs & other biblical texts seeks the critical moment that sparks transformation in the present.

Camus "The Myth of Sisyphus"
Camus is a philosopher born in French Algiers. He wrote often on Freedom - the provenance of his thought was in his experiences of world wars. He wrote prominently on Freedom. His books "The Myth of Sisyphus" and "The Rebel" both describe his views on freedom, reason, religion, politics. While his thoughts are oriented round the experiences of men in his day, there is potential for cross over. He was very interested in justice and the idea of struggle. His comparisons of the condemned man and the suicidal man are lucid.
