Albert Camus
by Stuart Gilbert
29 Oct 1962
Although convinced of the essential absurdity of the world into which we are born, Camus did not follow the path of retreat or indifference. Despite the cruel insults to man's freedom and dignity imposed by the human condition, Camus tried to find some justification and values for a life from which God has been excluded. Rejecting passivity and indiffernce, he suggested that could only be found in action, in salvation human solidarity, in he struggle against fundamental absurdity of life.
