Albert Camus “The myth of Sisyphus”: An evaluation

Abstract

The article caption “Albert Camus’ the Myth of Sisyphus” explores considerable sympathy, analysed contemporary nihilism and the sense of absurd. Its central concern is what Camus calls the absurd. He introduces his philosophy of the absurd, man’s futile search for meaning, unity, and clarity in the face of an unintelligible world devoid of god and eternal truths or values. The myth of Sisyphus is related to existentialism. Sisyphus is the epitome of the absurd hero because he is able to recognize the absurdity of the human condition, abundant hope, find happiness in material reality and ultimately find meaning in the struggle itself. Furthermore archetypal method has been adapted.
