The Myth of Sisyphus

Methodology and Conclusions

In «The Myth of Sisyphus», Albert Camus employs philosophical analysis and existential reflection as his primary methodology. He explores the absurdity of human existence by analyzing the myth of Sisyphus as a metaphor for meaningless toil and struggle. Camus examines various philosophical and literary sources, including the works of Kierkegaard, Dostoevsky, and Nietzsche, to support his arguments. Camus's main conclusion is that despite the absurdity of life and the absence of a higher meaning, one must accept this absurdity and continue living, finding meaning in the very act of existence and resistance. Camus asserts that awareness of the absurd and accepting it without despair allows one to attain inner freedom and dignity.
