Albert Camus
Albert Camus was a French philosopher, author, and journalist, awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1957.
Camus' own philosophy was grounded in absurdism, which refers to the inherent conflict.
This conflict often causes a certain amount of tension, and these tensions can cause anxiety and doubt if left unresolved.
- Many believe that life has no inherent meaning, and it is therefore up to us to decide our own meaning.
- Others believe that meaning can be found in the world around us, and we have to be open to it when it presents itself.
Here are some of his philosophical quotes:
