The cosmos is mute and irrational in this respect. "The absurd is that humans naturally seek value and meaning in their individua lives, yet they are thrown into the universe that affords no answers to their deepest questions, concerning values and meaning. Therefore, lets define it as Camus defines it. It is, actually, not clearly defined and used. firstly, we need to clear out the meaning of the word "absurd". It is interesting to see what Camus means by absurd walls. The next part of the essay is intitled "Absurd walls". When someone commits suicide is a sort of confession that life is ridicules in that sense.
We must imagine sisyphus happy full#
Therefore, we find that we repeat this pattern over and over in this cycle, and our lives are often full of agitation, frustration, suffering and it makes you wonder why life is worth living. "Dying voluntarily implies that you have recognized even instinctively the ridicules character of that habit of continuing to exist, the absence of any profound reason for living, the insane character of daily agitation and the uselessness of suffering. So, the question is, what is the meaning of the life, what makes life worth living? Camus knows that people commit suicide for many reasons, it is complex, and he acknowledges that. Thy are usually looking back and reporting on life and death situations and trying to figure out what was the right or wrong thing to do in that situation, but he thinks that no one has died from ontological argument for God's existence but on the other hand he has seen many people who have died because the had judge their life not worth living. He thought that most philosophical questions do not concern actual life or death. Camus took suicide very seriously and he actually thought that it poses a serious philosophical problem. Camus is arguing that, given that there is no God, and there is no for immortality or life after death, we need to accept that we are sentenced to a finite amount of time on earth and then we need just to squeeze out as much as life as we can. During the trouble times after WWII people were searching for meaning in life and Camus went deep into that quest with fiction books like "The Stranger" and non-fiction books like "The Myth of Sisyphus" Camus starts the book with a quote from Pindar O my soul, do not aspire to immortal life, but exhaust the limit of the possible". Whether the satisfaction and happiness we must imagine Sisyphus possessing, makes his life meaning is an open question. To do that it will then move on to look at how Camus draws a distinction between 'revolution' and 'revolt and, finally, it will come to the conclusion that happiness ultimately comes from accepting our limits and in the face of accepting those limits striving to be what we can be. This paper will discuss Camus' 'The Myth of Sisyphus', it will begin by looking generally at the idea of the suicide, before focusing more specifically on Camus' own interpretation of the absurd.
