Which movement was based in the idea that, although humans search for some meaning or purpose in human life, they are met with a world that is fragmented, unorganizable, and chaotic, making the effort futile?

Answer: Absurdism

Explanation: This movement essentially argues that there is no such thing as the freedom of choice and the search for meaning, because everything flows into one chaos as the final destination that is predetermined, that is, even though there is a semblance of choice and meaning, it all ends with meaninglessness. The absurd consists in the pursuit of humanity to seek the meaning of life and at the same time the inability of that same humanity to find that meaning. In fact, there is a conflict between people's aspirations for a meaning they believe is inherent, and their inability to find it, and that conflict leads to chaos.
