Albert Camus

Albert Camus was a French philosopher and writer known for his contributions to existential philosophy, emphasizing the absurdity of life and the human struggle to find meaning in an indifferent universe. He argued that while life may lack inherent purpose, individuals can create their own meaning through their choices and actions. In works like "The Stranger" and "The Myth of Sisyphus," he explored themes of freedom, rebellion, and the search for clarity in a chaotic world. Camus believed that embracing life's absurdity could lead to a deeper appreciation of existence and authentic living, without reliance on traditional religious views.
