After the death of God we came up against the loss of supreme value and thus loss of meaning, some philosophers and some writers (especially absurdist ones) call the new world as chaotic and absurd. In this paper, we will investigate the relationship between the death of God and absurdity. Our main question: Does the death of God have the absurdist vein? For this inquiry, first of all, we will try to introduce what is the meaning of the-death-of-God in absurd literature and then we will make a short conceptual analysis of absurd to show relationship between them.
