Imprinting: Theater of the Absurd or ?

Abstract

Rampant individualism is defined as the refusal to admit that one is part of the interdependent web of life, which is the common relationship between humans and the biospheric life support system. The term _theater of the absurd was coined to describe plays that gave artistic articulation to Alber Carmus philosophy that life is inherently without meaning, and, as a consequence, one must find one s own meaning. Humankind s destruction of its habitat to gain material possessions cannot be explained through reasoning or logic.
