A work named for this person describes a discomfort felt when watching a man gesture while talking on a telephone behind a glass wall. This person thinks that “the universe henceforth without a master… [seems] neither sterile nor futile” in a work that compares this person to someone who “silences all the idols.” An appendix criticizing the use of hope in Kafka’s writing appears after a philosophical work named after this person that compares him to the actor, the conqueror, and (*) Don Juan. “The struggle itself… is enough to fill a man’s heart” in an essay analyzing the story of this person that opens by claiming the “one truly serious philosophical problem” is that of suicide. For 10 points, name this person that “one must imagine… happy” in a namesake essay by absurdist philosopher Albert Camus about his “Myth.” ■END■
