It has been said that that the sisyphus myth is not all about pushing a rock for all eternity but that he also gets to enjoy his walk back down the mountain to retrieve the rock. So while life may be a struggle and futile it can still be enjoyable in between struggles.

There's a character in The Plague whose life plan was to work a rather meaningless job, and earn just enough money to spend his free time living for his hobbies. Life didn't quite work out like that for him, whereas Sisyphus was able to live the life he wanted due to the restrictions put upon him.

The Sisyphus myth is laughable nonsense predicated upon there being a NEED to push rocks up hills -- ie, life being full of pre-ordained "struggles". Take away "the gods" and there's no compulsion to push rocks. Sure, nature still presents challenges. Willfuly choose which and when and why to push rocks (ie, choose your battles in life) offers the freedom to be content within any "struggle". Eg, cancer can be a "battle" or just another day in a body under the influence of nature's entropy. Sisyphus sounds like the kind of guy who keeps going back and back for chemotherapy cos his doctor told him it was the "only way" and because he sees some virtue in "not surrendering to the disease". Classic Aristotelian neurosis.

@@14docmurph Pathetic philosophy. What kind of fatalistic automaton are you? Just because something is a 2000 year old analogy doesn't make it an inescapable law of existence. Sysiphus was a fool and an OCD stereotype, indoctrinated by the "inevitability" of the "will of the Gods" of his time. Marry that with the Western Judeo-Christian mythos of "struggle is never-ending and good for" and you have idiots who go to work Mon-Fri, 9-5, party hard all weekend, and die of a heart attack at 55. Learn some Zen or Tao, practise discriminatory free will upon every action. Live in happiness and peace, all whilst carrying out the *necessary tasks in life* without resignation or obsession.

I had a philosophy professor who literally wrote a book on Camus' Absurdity 'Beyond Absurdity'' by Dr. Robert Trundle and Ramakrishna Puligandli), this professors doctoral professor was Hazel Barnes (English translator of Sartre's "Being and Nothingness".) As good as this professor was (one of my absolute best teachers in my entire schooling), this video's explanation was by far the most clear and concise overview of Camus I have EVER heard!

'In the midst of winter I found there was within me an endless summer'. Having lived a lot of my childhood in violent darkness, in adulthood I eventually found light which I learned was always there. Where the actual quote comes in 'the stranger' resonates deep with me. There were some good times. They help to keep the darkness at bay.

Great work! Thank you for your hours of work. I edited a little webseries once and the patience required is immense. I loved learning that he played football, and the quote you included was very inspiring, as I've played that sport forever. Love it. Also, to hear you say out loud the absurdity that everyone was more pissed that he didn't cry at his moms funeral than at the murder he commits! The level of somehow comical barren joyous non-chalance societal action reminds me of Chekhov- another writer I was enthralled to see you include.

His book The Rebel has had a massive influence on me. I don't claim to fully understand it but I think as a novice I've absorbed a substantial amount of the book's ideas, especially the importance of the rebel for the health of a culture and without them there tends to be stagnation and in many cases a regression to a primitive mentality. The one line that struck me comes in the first page where it states that: The rebel slave says yes and no simultaneously. At first I didn't understand this and it seemed to be contradictory action, but then I got it and it concerns the principles of the rebel that keeps them focused and free from dogmatic traps. They have to be in a position to see the traps, always wary of their allure to compromise and break them. At one time I read The Rebel once a year and always found a passage that took on a new perspective as my own perspectives widened.

Have you ever heard of Antonio Gramsci's theory of cultural hegemony? Cultural Hegemony is the idea that the dominant ideology of society -the beliefs, explanations, perceptions, values, and morals-reflects that of the ruling class. The dominant ideology justifies the social, political, and economic status quo as natural, inevitable, perpetual and beneficial for everyone, rather than as artificial social constructs that benefit only the ruling class.

@Fiction_Beast Жыл бұрын
Yea I actually read about him at uni. While very enlightening and deep, I have come to realization that you have a few options: revolution, complain, adapt, ignore or create. When you get into literature you realize hegemony is created by humans over time. It’s the same in literature: we read homer, Shakespeare, and great authors who were outsiders in their time but with sheer power of art and storytelling established themselves as status quo for the future generations. Camus is a good example, a poor man born in Algeria conquered the French literary scene with his genius and hard work. I say create great original profound art and novels so future generations read you. I see humans as a hierarchical apes so beside the wealthy and powerful, great artists have immense power too.

P.S. - In my not-so-humble opinion the world would have been much better off if Marx, Nietzsche and, to a lesser extent, Sartre, had never been born. The latter, I believe, was a relatively harmless misanthrope, a competent writer and a second-rate philosopher who is best known (when he is thought of at all) for writing his catchy line, "L'enfer, c'est les autres," which is usually repeated only by dullards when they want to sound intelligent (especially on a First Date).

Could I recommend to anyone fascinated by Camus one of his short stories : The Guest ( 1957) The brilliance with which he dissects the issues of French / Algerian identity and the impossibility of not choosing sides is testament to his ...yes!...genius. !

Very well produced video. The paintings were awesome illustrations of the narrative. 👍👍👍 The presentation was very precise and clear and very informative and educative. Just a small suggestion... if you could just talk a bit slower, it would be just great!! Thanks so much for this video. 🙏🙏🙏

Thank you very much. It’s very tricky because some people complained that I speak to slowly in my previous videos. And it is very difficult to have a balance but I’ll try my best.

Life itself is worth living considering the alternatives, all of which are unknown. Try this: The people we label as "Genius" are the normal people and the rest of us are not smart at all. The word, "Happiness" to my mind, is for children. The word for adults to use is "Satisfaction".

If you read Camus in French it is very simple writing and not highly complex. His book "The Plague" is a book about a community that is walled in and how they cope with it. I don't know as far about happiness but as far a being a good writer I would agree.

I do relate to the stranger/outsider type of individual that Camus and Nietzsche write of, given I listened to a lot of punk music and hated all the current trends in my teen years. Ironically, I did spend a year in football my freshmen year of high school (dad made me, the one I felt most indifference toward), and honestly enjoyed the time not playing in games or winning (we sucked!), but in the shared effort and discipline our coaches put us through, how we all pushed ourselves and each other to do better than we thought we previously could. Testing our strength and endurance through a brotherly love we practically developed, despite us all dressing difference in class and hanging with difference groups, we all bonded in this one field of struggle, support and overcoming that I never felt from anywhere else... until I later became a server haha, but that's another story.
