The Myth of Sisyphus by Albert Camus is a philosophical essay that explores the concept of the absurd—the conflict between humans' desire to find inherent meaning in life and the silent, indifferent universe. Central to the essay is the Greek myth of Sisyphus, a king condemned by the gods to eternally push a boulder up a mountain, only for it to roll back down each time he nears the top.
Camus presents Sisyphus as the "absurd hero" who, despite recognizing the futility of his task and the hopelessness of his fate, embraces it fully with awareness. The key moment arises when Sisyphus descends the mountain and anticipates the next push, conscious of his endless struggle. Rather than despair, Camus argues this awareness frees Sisyphus to find contentment and even happiness in his revolt against meaninglessness.
The essay suggests that humans should live with full consciousness of life's absurdity, rejecting false hope or escapism, and instead creating their own meaning through passionate engagement with existence. Camus famously concludes that "one must imagine Sisyphus happy," emphasizing acceptance and defiance as key to authentic living in an absurd world.
