Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Albert Camus indeed explores the absurdity of life in his essay "The Myth of Sisyphus," but he does not conclude that life is meaningless or that it is better not to know we are going to die. Instead, Camus argues that awareness of the absurdity of life and the inevitability of death should lead us to find meaning in the struggle itself, much like Sisyphus finds meaning in his eternal task. Camus famously concludes that "one must imagine Sisyphus happy" as he embraces his fate, suggesting that the recognition of life's absurdity is not a prompt for despair but a challenge to live with greater intensity and passion.
