Fakta

Albert Camus, a prominent French philosopher and writer, is renowned for his exploration of Absurdism, a philosophical perspective addressing the inherent conflict between human beings' quest for meaning and the indifferent universe that provides none. Born in Mondovi, Algeria, in 1913, Camus’s early experiences with poverty and colonialism profoundly influenced his worldview. His intellectual journey was marked by his involvement in the French Resistance during World War II and his role as a public intellectual, shaping his distinctive approach to existentialist themes.

Absurdism, at the heart of Camus's philosophy, highlights the tension between our innate desire for meaning and the universe's inherent indifference. Camus posits that this conflict gives rise to what he terms "the absurd." This condition reflects the realization that our search for purpose clashes with the chaotic and meaningless nature of existence.

In his seminal essay, The Myth of Sisyphus, Camus introduces the figure of Sisyphus as an emblem of the absurd hero. Sisyphus, condemned to roll a boulder up a hill for eternity only to see it roll back down, symbolizes the human struggle against the absurd. Camus famously concludes that “one must imagine Sisyphus happy,” suggesting that the very act of persevering in the face of eternal struggle can become a source of triumph and personal fulfillment.
