Albert Camus
Albert
Camus was born on November 7, 1913, in Mondavi, French
Algeria. His pied-noir family had little money. Camus's father died in combat
during World War I, after which Camus lived with his mother, who was partially
deaf, in a low-income section of Algiers. Camus did well in school and was
admitted to the University of Algiers, where he studied philosophy and played
goalie for the soccer team. He quit the team following a bout of tuberculosis
in 1930, thereafter focusing on academic study. By 1936, he had obtained undergraduate
and graduate degrees in philosophy. Camus married and divorced twice as a young
man, stating his disapproval of the institution of marriage throughout. Camus
became political during his student years, joining first the Communist Party
and then the Algerian People's Party. As a champion of individual rights, he
opposed French colonization and argued for the empowerment of Algerians in
politics and labor. Camus would later be associated with the French anarchist
movement. At the beginning of World War II, Camus joined the French Resistance
in order to help liberate Paris from the Nazi occupation; he met Jean-Paul
Sartre during his period of military service. Like Sartre, Camus wrote and
published political commentary on the conflict throughout its duration. In
1945, he was one of the few Allied journalists to condemn the American use of
the atomic bomb in Hiroshima. He was also an outspoken critic of communist
theory. The dominant philosophical contribution of Camus's work is absurdism.
While he is often associated with existentialism, he rejected the label,
expressing surprise that he would be viewed as a philosophical ally of Sartre.
Elements of absurdism and existentialism are present in Camus's most celebrated
writing. The Myth of Sisyphus (1942) elucidates his theory of the absurd most
directly. The protagonists of The Stranger (1942) and The Plague (1947) must
also confront the absurdity of social and cultural orthodoxies, with dire
results. As an Algerian, Camus brought a fresh, outsider perspective to French
literature of the period—related to but distinct from the metropolitan
literature of Paris. In addition to novels, he wrote and adapted plays, and was
active in the theater during the 1940s and '50s. His later literary works
include The Fall (1956) and Exile and the Kingdom (1957). Albert Camus was awarded the Nobel Prize for
Literature in 1957. He died on January 4, 1960, in Burgundy, France.
Camus is often classified
as an existentialist writer, and it is easy to see why. Affinities with
Kierkegaard and Sartre are patent. He shares with these philosophers a habitual
and intense interest in the active human psyche, in the life of conscience or
spirit as it is actually experienced and lived. Like these writers, he aims at
nothing less than a thorough, candid exegesis of the human condition, and like
them he exhibits not just a philosophical attraction but also a personal
commitment to such values as individualism, free choice, inner strength,
authenticity, personal responsibility, and self-determination. However, one
troublesome fact remains: throughout his career Camus repeatedly denied that he
was an existentialist. Was this an accurate and honest self-assessment? On the
one hand, some critics have questioned this “denial”, attributing it to the
celebrated Sartre-Camus political “feud” or to a certain stubbornness or even
contrariness on Camus’s part. In their view, Camus qualifies as, at minimum, a
closet existentialist, and in certain respects as an even truer specimen of the
type than Sartre. On the other hand, besides his personal rejection of the
label, there appear to be solid reasons for challenging the claim that Camus is
an existentialist. For one thing, it is noteworthy that he never showed much
interest in metaphysical and ontological questions. Of course there is no rule
that says an existentialist must be a metaphysician. Another point of
divergence is that Camus seems to have regarded existentialism as a complete
and systematic world-view, that is, a fully articulated doctrine. In his view,
to be a true existentialist one had to commit to the entire doctrine and this
was apparently something he was unwilling to do. Camus actively challenged and
set himself apart from the existentialist motto that being precedes essence.
Ultimately, against Sartre in particular and existentialists in general, he
clings to his instinctive belief in a common human nature. In his view human
existence necessarily includes an essential core element of dignity and value,
and in this respect he seems surprisingly closer to the humanist tradition from
Aristotle to Kant than to the modern tradition of skepticism and relativism
from Nietzsche to Derrida.
I think Albert Camus is
an interesting person because of the way he thinks. For example, “The Myth of
Sisyphus”, Has a bold beginning, “There is but one truly serious philosophical
problem, and that is suicide. Judging whether life is or not worth living. That
is the fundamental question of philosophy.” The reason for this is in Camus
‘eyes is as soon as we start think seriously, as a philosopher do, we will see
that life has no meaning and therefore we will be compelled to wonder. Whether
or not we should just be done with it all. Unlike some philosophers, he ends up
resisting utter hopelessness. He argues we have to live with the knowledge that
our efforts will be largely futile, our lives soon forgotten, and our species
irredeemably corrupt and violent and yet we should endure nevertheless. We are
like Sisyphus, the Greek figure ordained by the gods, to roll a boulder up a
mountain, and watch it fall back down again in perpetuity. But ultimately,
Camus suggest we should cope as well as we can at whatever we have to do, we
have to acknowledge the absurd background to existence, and then triumph of the
constant possibility of hopelessness. In his famous formulation “One must
imagine Sisyphus happy”. This bring us to the most charming and seductive side
of Camus, the Camus wants to remind himself and us of the reasons why life can
be worth enduring.
