📝 Description
Albert Camus's 'The Myth of Sisyphus' is a philosophical essay that explores the concept of the absurd, defining it as the confrontation between humanity's desire for meaning and the universe's indifferent silence. Camus argues that despite the inherent meaninglessness of existence, one can find happiness and rebellion in embracing the absurd. The essay famously concludes with the image of Sisyphus, condemned to eternally push a boulder up a hill, as a symbol of the absurd hero who finds joy in his struggle.
