A existential continuation of the philosophical thought of Albert Camus in his "Myth of Sisyphus" from the perspective of acceptance of nihilism as the only sound and valid morality available in Technological Society. Whereas the work of Camus and the work of most existential thought tries to avoid nihilism, this author accepts it and argues Acceptance of it as a means for the individual soul to find value in Technological Society. This work contains several essays dealing with the concepts of meaning in life, truth, and morality existentially and conceptually and pragmatically for solving conceptual problems in Technological Society.

The author was born in Yugoslavia in 1958. As part of the Italian Exodus of ethnic Italians escaping from communism across the border into Italy, he and his family eventually emigrated to the United States in 1963. As the first English literate member of his working class family, he was the first to graduate from high school, then served six years in the US Submarine Force, and then was the first to graduate from college at the University of Illinois at Chicago. After graduating from Harvard Law School, he practiced trial law as a solo trial attorney for 25 years and then graduated from NYU with a Masters in Interdisciplinary Studies. He is presently pursuing further graduate work in philosophy at Boston College.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Profound Meditation
Reviewed in the United States on November 1, 2021
Verified Purchase
All nine of Diviacchi's books on philosophy are outstanding. Individually and together, they offer a profound and coherent point of view that far surpasses the pinched range of acceptable opinion in extensity, insight, coherence, and value. In this book, Diviacchi uses his compelling alternative point of view to respond creatively to the profound challenge of suicide. Neither depressing nor morbid, this book helps us to find our bearings in the intensely disorienting Technological Society that America is.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Follow-up On Camus
Reviewed in the United States on July 30, 2019
Though I always admired Albert Camus as a working class hero, his philosophical contemplations on the absurdity of life were corrupted by his success with French intelligentsia who only pretended to be working class heroes --- they were really a bunch of elitist hypocrites. This book along with this writer's other writings bring existentialism to the working class and is desperately needed in Technological Society reducing all of us to wage slaves.
