Ontology is a term they use to understand existence. This concept, which is one of the important philosophical topics, has also found its way into poetry, because poetry has always been a suitable platform for easier understanding of philosophical issues. Poetry is the highest art that can express the type of view and world view of poets towards life and the issues raised in it; For this reason, to discover the ontological horizon of each poet, one should refer to his poetry. In this study, with descriptive-analytical method, we are looking for the answer to this basic question, what are the reflections of concepts such as "death thinking", "predestination" and "absurdism" in the sky of thought and ontology of Vajid Shirazi, a poet of the 14th century? Based on the findings of the present research, it can be claimed that Wajid is a death-minded poet and recommends deaththinking to his audience. He has a contradictory view of death and has considered death from both its pleasant and unpleasant aspects. Also, based on the current findings, Wajid is a determinist poet who, despite the few references he made to the power of human will, the dominance of deterministic thinking is evident in all of his poems. Due to his monotheistic and religious ideas, Wajid cannot be fully classified among nihilists, but the existence of factors such as ignorance of the secret of existence and philosophical and religious doubts have brought him closer to nihilistic ideas.

When approaching the climate crisis, there appears to be a universal tendency towards philosophical suicide. When faced with the sheer scale of the problem at hand, falling for the façade of easy solutions seems to be an expected response. However, this tendency towards philosophical suicide may complicate the fight against the climate crisis by drawing attention away from the problem at hand. To approach this problem, the overarching purpose of this article is to determine how the change in the philosophical approach to the absurd may assist in framing the fight against climate change. During the investigation into this problem, it was found that philosophical suicide is a real problem that may be chosen when easy solutions are offered for a problem that sufficiently threatens the individual’s state of existence. Furthermore, this philosophical suicide threatens the fight against climate change due to it leading individuals to believe lies perpetrated through strategies like greenwashing. This is of crucial importance since philosophical suicide threatens the fight against the climate crisis by not allowing individuals to consciously approach the problem. However, there does appear to be some hope. If the newer generations are sufficiently educated on the topic, there may be a chance that philosophical suicide, as well as the prevailing sense of dread that appears to be rampant in the younger generations, can be countered. In this way, educating individuals may enable them to consciously approach the absurdity of the climate crisis and, in doing so, revolt against it.
