The Myth of Sisyphus by Albert Camus

In this famous essay, Camus introduces his philosophy of the absurd: man's futile search for meaning, unity, and clarity in the face of an unintelligible world devoid of eternal truths or values. Does the realization of the absurd require suicide? Camus answers: "No. It requires revolt."

The format will be free-form discussion of the "Myth of Sisyphus", the section of the essay "An Absurd Reasoning", plus the Sisyphus myth. I encourage reading enough to gain some grasp of what Camus has to say about approaching the absurd.
