By the end of high school I was a very unhappy person and had been so since our family moved from unincorporated Kane County to Park Ridge, Illinois when I was ten. At the outset the unhappiness was basically consequent upon leaving a rural setting, small school and friendly, integrated working-class neighborhood for a reactionary suburb, large school and unfriendly upper middle-class populace whose children were, by and large, just as thoughtlessly racist and conservative as their parents were...more

It was that Jewish heretic Paul of Tarsus who gave us the idea that we are not in charge of our lives but are merely responsible for them to God who owns us.

The One True Philosophical Problem
'The Myth of Sisyphus' purports to be about the 'one truly philosophical problem [of] suicide'.
Perhaps, it's a little sensationalist to define the problem in these terms, at least in the 21st century. Even Camus himself immediately restated the problem as 'judging whether life is or is not worth living'.
Maybe another way is to ask whether, if life is not worth living, does it follow that we should cease to live, e.g., by committing suicide? (It's interesting how..more

As soon as the character of The Stranger abandoned to his sad fate, the desire to stay a little while in the company of Albert Camus came naturally.
From a chronological point of view, the choice of the essay The Myth of Sisyphus, also published in 1942 in the framework of the tetralogy 'The cycle of the absurd', seems self-evident.

This was a fascinating insight into a thought provoking question, Albert Camus suggests that suicide amounts to a confession that life is not worth living. He links this confession to what he calls the 'feeling of absurdity', that on the whole, we go through life with meaning and purpose, with a sense that we do things for good and profound reasons. Occasionally, however for some at least, we might come to see our daily lives dictated primarily by the forces of habit, thus bringing into question..more

Right after Promise at Dawn (La Promesse de l'Aube), I wrap up The myth of Sisyphus and come out eventually disheartened by the mighty silence ruling over the studio in Lorient. In spare words, this is a study on the absurd. The onset is : 'is life worth living?' The subject is tailored to make you react to it and decide where you stand.

Albert Camus (1913–1960) is not a philosopher so much as a novelist with a strong philosophical bent. He is most famous for his novels of ideas, such as The Stranger and The Plague, both of which are set in the arid landscape of his native Algeria.
Camus studied philosophy at the University of Algiers, which brought him into contact with two of the major branches of twentieth century philosophy: existentialism and phenomenology. Existentialism arises from an awareness that there is no pre-ordaine..more

Hallelujah, I've finished. I think this was the slowest pace at which I read a book since joining Goodreads. For now (and possibly for eternity), three points:

“It happens that the stage sets collapse. Rising, streetcar, four hours in the office or the factory, meal, streetcar, four hours of work, meal, sleep, and Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday and Saturday according to the same rhythm – this path is easily followed most of the time. But one day the “why” arises and everything begins in that weariness tinged with amazement.”

I read this book shortly after Albert Camus' death when he was at the height of his popularity. As I was in high school, it may have been the first philosophical work that that I ever read. By the time I arrived at university three years later, the academics were hooting at it. The pedants asserted that the work demonstrated only the extent to which Camus the novelist was out of his depth as a philosopher.

Camus thesis in this book is exemplified in its famous statement that, 'there is but one truly serious philosophical problem and that is suicide.' Like much modern existentialist philosophy, the guiding principle amounts to an assertion that the world is a desert, and then proceeds to question whether or not you can (or should) survive it. Is it even worth surviving, or trying to survive for the brief moment that we exist anyways? Why not, as many do today despite unprecedented material wealth,..more

Mythology is a passion of mine and has been ever since I was a younger child - an age when I had much greater clarity of mind than I do now and was hampered less by outward influences. Therefore, to see Albert Camus write a sequence of differing essays which explore existentialism (whether he was truly an 'existentialist' is a matter of debate and conjecture but he was interested in existentialist concepts) in a manner that connects back to mythology was fascinating.
For those who are unaware, th..more
There is but one truly serious philosophical problem, and that is suicide. Judging whether life is or is not worth living amounts to answering the fundamental question of philosophy.
It is in The Myth of Sisyphus where French author Albert Camus introduces his philosophy of the absurd: the idea that humankind as a whole is stuck in a perpetual loop made of futile efforts to try to find meaning in an absurd world. He illustrates his point with a renowned character from Greek mythology: Sisyphus wa..more

Had to give up on this book after 50 pages. I'm a big fan of existentialism and philosophy in general but this book left me completely unsatisfied. Besides a really important idea: that suicide is the only serious philosophical problem, I don't really think The Myth of Sisyphus has much to offer. It's either an extremely tough read or just plain incoherent babble. I'm inclined to say it is the latter. Overall, a huge disappointment.

More of an absurdist philosophical text than anything else, in Myth of Sisyphus, Camus draws for us a sketch of his existentialist ideas - those which underpinned his masterpieces such as the inestimable La Peste (The Plague).

Let me first start with the fact that I feel as if I have missed a good 20% of the theory and meaning in this book. That could be because of his writing style, saturated with symbology and far reaching statements. Or because of the fact that this was an application of the theory of the absurd and not an explanation of the absurd, something that one really has to examine before you can fully understand its essence.
But apart from that I really enjoyed reading this book, expecting that it would gi..more

It's easy to dismiss Camus as the philosophical equivalent of a Class C drug - something you flirt with pleasurably but inconsequentially in adolescence, or alternatively a gateway into longer-term, potentially ruinous associations with the harder stuff. As I write this I am sitting unshaven and hollow-eyed, stealing Gollum-like glances at a recently delivered 850-page biography of Soren Kierkegaard, so I have a degree of sympathy with this view.

Camus’s ideas are exceptional, but it is his eloquence, often dangerously bordering on poetic syllogism, that displays the ideas so convincingly. The literary beauty does carry discerning justification, but almost unnecessarily so—I would also gladly have read The Myth of Sisyphus as a work of fiction, for the joy of its language, even if the philosophy within it were meaningless. (Though it is dangerous to split a work into constituents, probably as much as it is to separate the work from the c..more

For the third time in my life I have read this book. It is a beautiful and terrifying edifice in both poetry and prose and philosophy, in that order. This is the most influential book in my life, the most fully dynamic and the most 'truthful', if that's not too against the spirit of it (which, of course, it is) and in my acknowledgement of that, I acknowledge the energy of the absurd that feeds that very sentiment.
