The Myth of Sisyphus

One of the most influential works of this century, The Myth of Sisyphus—featured here in a stand-alone edition—is a crucial exposition of existentialist thought. Influenced by works such as Don Juan and the novels of Kafka, these essays begin with a meditation on suicide—the question of living or not living in a universe devoid of order or meaning. With lyric eloquence, Albert Camus brilliantly posits a way out of despair, reaffirming the value of personal existence, and the possibility of life lived with dignity and authenticity.

Existential philosophers Skye Cleary and Jamie Lombardi will join us for the discussion!

Please note that meetup time is Eastern Standard Time (New York). The event may be recorded, so that others may benefit from our discussion after the video gets posted online.

At the beginning of the meeting your audio will be off, but keep the video on. This makes for less background noise and a more human interaction (we see each other!).

When you'd like to ask a question, raise your hand using Zoom's tool. When I call on you, I will turn on your mic and ask the question. I will then turn your mic back off to allow for the next question.

Finally, during the event I will be busy and not able to monitor the chat, so see above if you'd like to ask a question.
