about

‎"The Absurd", in philosophy, refers to the clash between the human tendency to seek inherent meaning
and the human inability to find any. In this context "absurd" does not mean "logically impossible," but rather "humanly impossible."

In The Myth of Sisyphus, Camus introduces his philosophy of the absurd: man's futile search for meaning, unity and clarity in the face of an unintelligible world devoid of God and eternal truths or values.
Does the realization of the absurd require suicide?

Camus answers: "No. It requires revolt."

He then outlines several approaches to the absurd life. The final chapter compares the absurdity of man's life with the situation of Sisyphus, a figure of Greek mythology who was condemned to repeat forever the same meaningless task of pushing a boulder up a mountain, only to see it roll down again. The essay concludes, "The struggle itself...is enough to fill a man's heart. One must imagine Sisyphus happy."
