About this book
The Myth of Sisyphus is a 1942 philosophical essay by Albert Camus. The work offers a sustained, searching examination of a question Camus considered central to living in the modern age: does the absurdity of human existence — the conflict between our desire for meaning and the universe's silence — make life worth living?
Camus argues in favor of life in spite of its absurdity. Like Sisyphus condemned to roll his boulder up the hill for eternity, we too must imagine ourselves happy in our struggle. This short, brilliant essay is a cornerstone of existentialist philosophy.
