Camus and the Existentialists

Camus and the Existentialists explore how individuals find meaning amidst life's apparent absurdity. Camus, specifically, argues that life has no inherent purpose, yet humans continually seek meaning. He advocates for embracing life's experiences fully, living authentically despite this absurdity. Existentialists like Jean-Paul Sartre emphasize personal freedom, responsibility, and creating meaning through choices in a universe without predetermined purpose. Both philosophies challenge us to confront existence honestly, accept uncertainty, and live with passion and integrity, ultimately highlighting human resilience and the importance of individual authentic experience.
