How did Hesse describe his philosophical outlook in his works?

  • Existential

  • Nihilistic

  • Absurdist

  • Optimistic

Answer

Existentialism, as portrayed in Hesse's works, emphasizes the individual's responsibility for shaping their own existence in the face of an often-absurd and meaningless world. Hesse's characters grapple with themes of identity, purpose, and the search for meaning in a universe that appears indifferent to their struggles.
