Albert Camus
The Myth of Sisyphus
Why does life feel empty when human beings demand meaning from an uncomprehending world? Camus examines suicide, philosophical escape, revolt, freedom, passion, love, action, art, and Sisyphus to argue that lucid attention to mortality can become a way of living—and even a source of defiant happiness.

Albert Camus traces rebellion from a refusal of humiliation to revolutions that place authority in the people, history, or the state. He asks whether resistance can defend shared human dignity without becoming murder or domination, testing the question through philosophy, political history, literature, and an ethic of measure.
