FAQ About Albert Camus

According to Albert Camus, absurdism is a philosophical perspective that highlights the inherent conflict between the human tendency to seek inherent value and meaning in life and the indifferent, purposeless universe. Camus views life as devoid of objective meaning, encouraging individuals instead to embrace life itself and the freedom that comes with acknowledging this absurdity. His essay 'The Myth of Sisyphus' describes how one might confront the absurd by accepting it and living with purpose regardless of life’s intrinsic meaninglessness.
