philosophies make him a stranger to society. The absurd sun physically weakens Meursault leading him to make irrational decisions. The sun is symbolic in “The Stranger” as it presents the irrationality in Meursault’s universe. The sun is a recurring symbol in the story and the first instance where it displays the irrationality in Meursault’s world is when Meursault is faced with the Arab at the beach as “the sun was starting to burn [his] cheeks, and [he] could feel drops of sweat…It was this burning that

LIBERTY AND PATERNALISM      John Stuart Mill and Gerald Dworkin have distinctly opposing views on legal paternalism in that Mill is adamantly against any form of paternalism, whereas Dworkin believes that there do exist circumstances in which paternalism is justified.

Mill takes on a utilitarian argument, explaining that allowing an individual to exercise his freedom

The Underground Man’s character and relationships in the novella The Underground Man, are quickly ruined by his philosophical convictions. One of these convictions is that the only way to feel alive is to feel pain and suffering, and the two choices in life are either lofty suffering or cheap happiness.

He kills Macduff’s entire family and hardly bats an eye. Unfortunately, even avoiding general conscious thought about his actions can’t help him. He may stop trying to find rational reasons for his actions, but without accepting their inherent irrationality, he is still philosophically doomed. Macbeth was right about the witches-- he certainly has damned himself. It isn’t until he reaches rock bottom that his true existential colors show. When his wife dies, he comes to terms with the futility of
