Albert Camus (philosopher)

Albert Camus was a French philosopher and writer known for exploring existential themes like meaning, absurdity, and human resilience. He believed life has no inherent purpose, which can lead to feelings of meaninglessness—what he called the "absurd." Instead of despair, Camus suggested we must confront this reality with rebelliousness and find personal meaning through our actions and choices. His works, like *The Myth of Sisyphus* and *The Stranger*, emphasize living authentically despite life's inherent uncertainties, encouraging us to create our own purpose in an indifferent universe.
