The Myth of Sisyphus explores the absurdity of human existence and our search for meaning in a world that seems to lack purpose. Camus poses a fundamental question: is this life worth living? If human existence no longer has meaning, what can prevent us from committing suicide? According to Camus, if there is no God to give meaning to our lives, then it is humans who must take over that purpose themselves. This is an ‘absurd’ task, like Sisyphus who endlessly rolls his stone up the hill, while the inevitable death looms over us.
