Albert Camus is one of the greatest French writers and thinkers. He was a philosopher, an author and a journalist. He won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1957 and his most famous works are The Stranger, The Plague, The Myth of Sisyphus, The Fall, and The Rebel. Camus is one of the most representative figures of the philosophy of the “absurd” or “absurdism,” which is a philosophical movement having as its central hypothesis that human beings exist in a purposeless, chaotic universe. Camus considered that absolute freedom must be balanced with absolute justice - too much freedom leads to the situation when the strong suppresses the weak but too much justice kills freedom, and we need to live and let live. As a promoter of the philosophy of the “absurd”, Camus believed that life has no meaning, that the universe simply exists and that it is indifferent to people’s lives. We are like Sisyphus from Greek mythology, forever carrying that heavy rock to the top of the hill, although we know the rock will always fall down and our life's work is meaningless. Our condition might be tragic, but Camus considered that this exact condition hides a blessing in disguise: life does not have a meaning, but we are free to attribute it any meaning we want. His philosophy has inspired a lot of people in dealing with the absurdity of life and even today, his philosophy is extremely relevant.

I developed ridiculous anxiety after an abusive relationship and one thing that has helped me reconnect with society is I don't hesitate to compliment a stranger. "I love your hair!" "How cute is that dress?!" "Your kiddo is such a sweetheart!" I can't remember anyone ever reacting negatively and I think it makes us both feel good 🤗

I found i was looking to people to make me feel good. And for along time i was a people pleaser. I'm not that now, and i enjoy my own company doing things that make me feel good. I love listening to music. It's very good for my soul, and it's healing.

I teach vocational arts in a jail, giving valuable job skills for students...and we have a bunch o' laffs too.
At the start of class, before we start hands-on projects, I read a quote of the day. Twain, Seneca, Camus etc. to start the flavor of our day.
The inmates love it and in-depth open discussions then preface our shop work...and set the motivations for why do it! Great vid...I just subscribed to your channel

I didn't realize I was a Camus Absurdist until after I watched this video. Thank you for this video!

A lot of wisdom in Camus' philosophy ! Read him a lot of years ago. Feels good to reconnect with it ! I would wrap up his 6 ways with a metaway. We are a part of nature as a whole ! Everything is interwoven !

You are very clear, succinct and use simple accessible language to explain a tricky subject. I have watched other such videos and they end up rambling and become incoherent. You have clearly thought about the content and the validity of what needs to be said. Quite superb. I'm a lecturer, retired so appreciate your effort making this video. Thank you 👍

What I enjoy in Camus is he is inclined towards a positive outlook at yourself, others and to life itself.
His emphasis on love makes this even better.

Mind makes matter, and thus meaning. We are literally making meaning as we go; there is no avoiding it. It is both arbitrary and sacred at the same time.

It's unfortunate that we forget just how special life is sometimes and don't appreciate it like we should.

A brilliant summary of a great philosopher - one of the few laudable French thinkers.

Very influenced by Camus in my twenties and believe I still am. My art, especially, is ironic and amusing - love the humor and fun of absurdism. The journey is what counts, not what others say you “should” be doing or being. Live in the now, accepting whatever comes, with grace, gratitude and yes, above all - love! And you can find love anywhere, any time, including self-love.

I felt such a complete affinity to Camu’s philosophies as summarized here, that I must now read the source material!
Thank you so much for the amazing resource that is this channel 👍❤️

Wow! Camus, a man after my own heart ❤️

[organizm]

whoa, the irony of me never knowing about Albert Camus until now because i was basically living exactly the way he recommends is palpable. this has me blown away. i literally worked out his entire philosophy having never graduated high school. i wonder what his thoughts would be on that, im sure it would bring him joy. i learned who he was because someone called me Albert Camus earlier today and so i started down this rabbit hole. we are the way the stars see themselves, that is our purpose, the only meaning we will ever have in this life is the meaning we give each other. empathy based morals are the only morals that can't be corrupted, fear based morals only need the fear to be overcome to collapse, coupled with lack of understanding that leads to hate. empathy based morals lead to love.

Enjoyed the video. Always loved Camus...my idol from teenage. Absorbed all his writings, found so meaningful that took time to translate some of his essays in my mother tongue. My life coach.

Some very good insights, but one thing that I have attached, in my mind, a caveat, is the advice about sharing joys and sorrows. I have found, over decades of experience, is that people will go on and on about problems, to the point that it becomes a loop. Venting does serve a purpose, but vent and move on; too many stay stuck and the only thing they succeed in doing is spreading their negativity to others like a virus.
