Camus was a good essayist but not so much a philosopher. That's why he and Sartre parted their ways.

He never said he was a philosopher. How do you know whether he was happy and had a rich interior life? He wasnt a psychologist- so he didn’t develop a tips for a good life. He was a journalist, writer, resistance fighter in WW2 and a class 1 A hole to his wife.

I keep bumping with this line of argument. I don't think it's a already named fallacy or biases. It's when someone demands nothing less than perfection. So, a book it's only worth reading if the author is without flaw. A philosophical proposal is only worthy is the philosopher is an immaculate being. But it works with things and ideas, too. If an alternative to capitalism is presented, it needs to be perfect and solved absolutely everything to be valid. When in reality it just needs to be better that what it is replacing. Is such an unfair an unrealistic thing to ask for.

"Life is absurd" was a profound statement for me when I was 13. Now, I find it ironic that his writing so often pointed to others' absurd, unconscious behaviors that are an attempt to manage their feelings of alienation and fear. Meanwhile, he was obviously using people to regulate his self esteem and he was actually terrified of facing that void himself. In the end it's not rebellious. It's just cliché.

do you know of any philosophies/similar frameworks that integrate absurdism with the relational/social aspect? the only thing i can think of is frankl’s logotherapy but i still think it lacks in some ways

Camus really speaks to me, but it's difficult pushing through absurdism and not ending up back in nihilism of some sort. It's like a vicious circle.

After studying absurdism, I was left thinking, and now what? Plato woke us up to the cave, and then pointed to the exit. Buddha has the eightfold path. Camus says, well I hang out with hot young girls. Not good enough.

So does your new book move through absurdism to help people overcome the collapse of meaning, into philosophies that support human flourishing?

It takes a lot of work to extract valuable ideas and concepts from the gross packaging they came in.

one time i saw a sculpture like the one you showed except it had two people pushing the bolder and it really mad me think about love and how it doesn't make life any less absurd (pushing the bolder) but maybe love makes it worth while.

the myth of Sisyphus was one of my favorite reads in college. but I do think philosophy folks tend to forget that the word philosophy means the love of wisdom not the pursuit of Truth. I think that may apply here. sometimes the wise thing involves living a life with a few Little White Lies that allow you to be a better person at upholding the social contract. a few Little White Lies helps you get along with other folks better and in that way have a healthier psyche yourself.

I see this as irrelevant because Camus, like any other human being, can be a philosopher with a great mind but a human with a lot of complexes depending on what env he grew up in ( same for his wife herself). and that can feel like a contradiction or a gap .I'm not defending him. but humans are complex, we don't know the behind the scenes 🤷🏻♀️

If Camus' works would have been found in an unmarked box in an abandoned building with no way to tell who's the author, would you still 'have beef' with what it says?

Isn't that the point of absurdism. That there is no meaning/purpose. that any attempt to create it is fruitless.

NEVER PUT ANYONE ON A PEDESTAL!!! First mistake in socialite: put someone on a pedestal.

Nicholas Rose :
It sounds like Camus chose hedonism as his response to the absurd. So yeah, when we “must imagine Sisyphus happy”, I think the exploration of Why we think he’s happy matters. For me, it’s the moment at the start of each day before starting to push. He could spend an eternity in that moment, contemplating the day and being grateful for the day. The action of pushing then becomes about feeling alive and connected to his physical self. The walk back down is also time for contemplation and gratitude. So for me, the Why is about being connected to the journey, embracing the moment, and being grateful to continue. From there, choosing to fill your journey with hedonistic pleasures or fulfilling relationships, becomes about finding purpose and meaning that matters to you as an individual.

Reminds me of the same situation with Bill and Lois Wilson. He traveled around soaking up attention and preaching a "spiritual program" while cheating on his wife. He wouldn't even let Lois write the Big Book chapter, "To Wives", even though she lived the experience.
