📝 Description

Authored by Albert Camus, 'The Myth of Sisyphus' is a seminal philosophical essay published in 1942. In this work, Camus introduces his philosophy of the absurd, exploring the fundamental human search for meaning in a world that inherently lacks it. He uses the ancient Greek myth of Sisyphus, condemned to eternally roll a boulder up a hill only for it to fall back down, as a metaphor for the human condition. Camus famously concludes that 'one must imagine Sisyphus happy,' finding joy and defiance in the struggle itself.

💬 Quote Context
