This is a video in my new Core Concepts series -- designed to provide students and lifelong learners a brief discussion focused on one main concept from a classic philosophical text and thinker.
This Core Concept video focuses on Albert Camus' early work, The Myth of Sisyphus, and specifically on his discussion of what he terms the feeling and passion of the absurd, which is in some respects a precursor to its explicitly worked-out concept.

His best example, in my opinion, is when the absurd is recognized when one rebels, almost mindlessly at first, against what we were not fully aware had crossed a boundary that we did not know existed. That boundary, if I remember correctly, is what Camus states as our awareness in our role within the absurdist dilemma. We essentially have no reason to rebel, but we do out of the passion to draw our own line in the sand. Almost as if staking our claim among a fight that is futile from the beginning and that's what makes it such an important answer to the absurd. Kind of connecting two books here but I really loved this idea because suicide seems, at face value, to be a viable solution; hence the reason for The Myth of Sisyphus. And yet, he connects almost something fundamental to metaphysics; the meaninglessness of existence and the meaningfulness of experiencing existence.
