FAQ About Albert Camus

'The Myth of Sisyphus' is an influential philosophical essay by Albert Camus that explores the concept of the absurd. In this essay, Camus employs the Greek myth of Sisyphus, who is condemned to roll a boulder up a hill only for it to roll back down each time he reaches the top. Camus uses this myth to illustrate the futility of human endeavors and argues that one must imagine Sisyphus happy, finding meaning through the struggle itself, despite life's inherent absurdity.
