"The Myth of Sisyphus" by Albert Camus is a profound philosophical essay that explores the absurdity of human existence. In this work, Camus examines the fundamental question of whether life is worth living in a world that lacks inherent meaning and purpose. Through the allegory of Sisyphus, condemned to roll a boulder up a hill only to watch it roll back down for eternity, Camus delves into the absurdity of repetitive and seemingly futile tasks.
Camus suggests that despite the inherent meaninglessness of life, one can find meaning through the act of rebellion against absurdity. He invites readers to embrace the absurd condition, and to revolt against the meaninglessness by finding personal meaning and value in the struggle itself. The book challenges traditional philosophical perspectives and offers a fresh existential viewpoint on the human condition.
