Albert Camus is one of the greatest French writers and thinkers. He was a philosopher, an author and a journalist. He won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1957 and his most famous works are The Stranger, The Plague, The Myth of Sisyphus, The Fall, and The Rebel. Camus is one of the most representative figures of the philosophy of the “absurd” or “absurdism,” which is a philosophical movement having as its central hypothesis that human beings exist in a purposeless, chaotic universe. Camus considered that absolute freedom must be balanced with absolute justice - too much freedom leads to the situation when the strong suppresses the weak but too much justice kills freedom, and we need to live and let live. As a promoter of the philosophy of the “absurd”, Camus believed that life has no meaning, that the universe simply exists and that it is indifferent to people’s lives. We are like Sisyphus from Greek mythology, forever carrying that heavy rock to the top of the hill, although we know the rock will always fall down and our life's work is meaningless. Our condition might be tragic, but Camus considered that this exact condition hides a blessing in disguise: life does not have a meaning, but we are free to attribute it any meaning we want. His philosophy has inspired a lot of people in dealing with the absurdity of life and even today, his philosophy is extremely relevant.

    This couldn't have come to me at a better moment. I've recently overcome a two month, midlife crisis now at 35, after I lost the core motivation to my workaholism, and the burn out had reduced my inhibition towards apathy. My whole life has been pretty smooth surface wise, but I've always been neglected spiritually, given tools, but never shown how to use them. Being raised in a faith based religion, I took a lot of damage when I was young, assuming everyone I would meet had the same general level of respect that was instilled into me, particularly in dating and having the shattering realization that faith in marriage is not the direction the majority of our society is headed down. All but one of highschool friends self deleted, and the only reason I probably did not join them is my faith, but as that got whittled down by my observations of those around me, the more I could see the value in my friend's level of escapism. In the end, i have not found much value in the mode of how life should go, that we are given by society, I went off on my own journey for the past 17 years and have suffered through poverty to chase a passion of understanding agriculture. My original plan all those years ago was simply to teach people how to grow food, but I got hooked into the chase of the grind in each season and lost that core component, as well as the component of growing food so I could share it with my family, and even start one. These are areas I now put priority on, as I am not longer making decisions based on efficiency in production, but instead in aesthetics of place, as my surroundings have the appearance of a excel spread sheet made manifest, but I need to make it more inviting so moments can be enjoyed among them. I am learning new skills before skills become harder to learn in old age, so I may have more tools to teach with, primarily through art. Ultimately my new goal and motivation is to grow more food, by teaching more people to grow food, instead of myself growing more. Plus a teacher always learns more form their student, than the student takes away from the teacher.

    Decades ago I adjusted my life to live in the present and do several other things I found out later philosophers said were good ways to live. I did it only because it made sense to me. Today I live as a hermit and have for 3 years. The issue with living as philosophers say is 99.9% of people don't. They talk a lot about wanting to live these ways, but don't. When you do live this way it puts you out of step with almost everyone else. You drift further and further from those around you. Be careful about following philosophers. Make sure you actually want that path and where it leads. I'm happy I did, but I don't think it's for everyone.

    The best thing you can do is to love them and let them learn from their own experiences. However well intentioned you are, you will always be seen as an oppressor. I spent years resisting my overbearing parents. Some of what they said and believed was the sme as what I came to believe, but much of what they said was wrong or not appropriate. If they ask for advice, you can give it. Keep in mind you may not be always right, or that what feels right for you may not be right for them.

    I’m 75 and at age 50 I lived in New York where I was born . I had never lived anywhere else though being descended from puertorican parents, I had learned of my culture and visited the island at age 23 and about 5 more times till moving to Puerto Rico in 2000. I made the drastic decision to move permanently my only son at age 25 took his life. I had no family left in NY and decided it would be too lonely and painful to continue there . Though I live far from the family left in PR i,ve continued living by my own in a senior condo, for 15 yrs now. It’s very lifeless and poor, I only receive social security and it barely covers my basic expenses. I’ve made the best of it- even had a small business for a short while. hosted a tourism catamaran and was a sales rep for a cigar company. This all happened from 50 to 62 yrs old. Such a long story but to say that I never gave up hope and each day I would open the door of my rental and decided to make the best of each day. So Mr Camus was correct with his philosophy of living the present. That’s what I did. Thank you for reading.

    The Rebel is a book that made a great impression on me and I read it every few years. I don't claim to completely understand it but I think I did pretty well for someone who never made it to high school. It seems to express the need for rebels in various positions in life or else it begins to stagnate and regress. My favourite passage comes on the first page where Camus writes: The rebel slave says yes and no simultaneously. I tend to edit out the word 'slave' whenever I use the quote. It's still a valid quote without the word. Another Camus quote (although I don't know where it comes from) is: In the depth of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer. It's a beautiful and inspiring quote .

    Mr Google says: Camus: "In the depths of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer."At noon, on the half-sandy slopes, strewn with heliotropes like a foam that the furious waves of the last few days had left behind in their retreat, I gazed at the sea, gently rising and falling as if exhausted, and quenched two thirsts that cannot be long neglected if all one’s being is not to dry up, the thirst to love and the thirst to admire. For there is only misfortune in not being loved; there is misery in not loving. All of us, today, are dying of this misery. This is because blood and hatred lay bare the heart itself; the long demand for justice exhausts even the love that gave it birth. In the clamor we live in, love is impossible and justice not enough. That is why Europe hates the daylight and can do nothing but confront one injustice with another. In order to prevent justice from shriveling up, from becoming nothing but a magnificent orange with a dry, bitter pulp, I discovered one must keep a freshness and a source of joy intact within, loving the daylight that injustice leaves unscathed, and returning to the fray with this light as a trophy. Here, once more, I found an ancient beauty, a young sky, and measured my good fortune as I realized at last that in the worst years of our madness the memory of this sky had never left me. It was this that in the end had saved me from despair. I had always known that the ruins of Tipasa were younger than our dry-docks or our debris. In Tipasa, the world is born again each day in a light always new. Oh light! The cry of all the characters in classical tragedy who come face to face with their destinies. I knew now that their final refuge was also ours. In the depths of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer." Albert Camus, Return to Tipasa (1953)

    Camus does not believe in hope or in its “cousin,” regret. If we are to say that regret is futile because it anchors us to the past and thus removed from the present, we must acknowledge the same villainy in hope and in the future to which it is connected. All that is certain is the moment in which we live so our rebellion can only exist there. Yes, one can be absurd in any profession, but Camus specifies the importance and the primacy of creation in the face of inevitable and unpredictable destruction. This can be as vast as actually creating a work of art or simply creating the meanings and outlooks of our daily lives however we see fit, on the condition that we consciously face the absurd in every moment.

    This really hit home for me. I knew of Camus, but haven't yet studied his work. Be it similar life choices, or pathways of thought and action, I swear to you that these philosophic ideas of his mirror my own, almost to a fault. I'm in my early Autumn Days, and have questioned my choices in life from time to time, but after watching this, I believe I have found a common spirit that resides in myself, and it might be the spirit that inhabited the body of Camus. I'll have to place Jean Baudrillard on pause, and go back to Albert Camus for the time being. It's good to know that I'm not as alone as I thought. Thank you for opening my eyes to him, Philosophy for Life.

    Reading a lot of the comments below, it struck me that given the age and circumstance of Camus' death, one can only hope to be lucky in life. It seems that despair is a direct result of, as Camus put it, undergoing the experience of bad luck. Life is such a fickle mistress whose whims can change a person's life in a heartbeat - for ill or benefit. Accepting this absurd fact is perhaps key to living a full life. Great video synopsis of his philosophy. Thanks. X

    Many of us today have had this crossroad thrust on us willy nilly and some have lost what they assumed was the meaning to their lives. Whether their job, their church, their family and friends, their plans....nothing is the same as before 2020. Many have committed suicide or overdosed without intending it...others have glued themselves to screens. So I wanted to share an insight. First, I'm not Matthew...due to a housefire, the computer says I am; but it's wrong. Camus would love that. I'm Deanna, his mother. I was a mother and then caregiver to my husband all my adult life...and I was a devout Catholic...those shaped life. Children grew up, I cared for grandchildren. Then 2020 and a housefire, my husband's death (not covid), and church closings. In short, a familiar story. I began taking my 3 remaining dogs for drives and runs at the cemetery...they are not polite urban dogs. I wonder what drugs people are giving their pets because mine have never been such automatons on leashes as most are. For most Americans, this seems like a waste of time and gas. But I learned...we drive through neighborhoods I never knew existed, like delivery vans do. I smile at passersby and the black people wave and smile but the white people never do. Odd...they have not been African for 250 years but they still consider it an act of hostility to ignore a Howdy Do. Spending my small Social Security on this and sewing my clothes would be hell to Hillary Clinton and such people....but times have given absurd living a life worth living. Suicide OR have a cup of coffee and go on from there. Camus said that was the choice. The meaning of life is already a given....life itself.
