Author: Albert Camus

In “Le mythe de Sisyphe,” Albert Camus begins with the bold assertion that the only serious philosophical problem is suicide.

Drawing on myth – especially the figure of Sisyphus – Camus develops a critique of contemporary sensibility and a call to embrace the absurd as a central theme of modern philosophy.
