Description
'The Myth of Sisyphus' by Albert Camus is a philosophical essay first published in French in 1942. Beginning with the question of whether life is worth living, Camus examines what he calls the “absurd” — the conflict between humanity’s desire for meaning and the apparent indifference of the universe. Drawing on figures and works from philosophy and literature, including Dostoevsky, Kafka and Nietzsche, he considers suicide, freedom, revolt and the possibility of living fully without relying on an ultimate source of meaning. The concluding image of Sisyphus, condemned to endlessly roll a boulder uphill, becomes Camus’s central metaphor for confronting the absurd and continuing to live with awareness and defiance.
