Description/Abstract
In the first pages of The Myth of Sisyphus, Albert Camus chooses to discuss beliefs and values, before diving deep into his theory on absurdism. His purpose is to set the groundwork for his future ideas on the meaning or rather, the lack of meaning of life. So he begins, piece by piece assembling the big puzzle that ends in his theory of philosophical absurdism and continues with an evaluation of the central question of this book: is suicide a justified approach when facing life? In this essay I plan on doing an exposition of the main points of Camus’s absurdism with the purpose of finding whether it is a good argument or not.
