6 key ideas, each explained in our own words.

The Myth of Sisyphus

  1. IDEA 1

    The absurd

    Humans long for meaning and clarity; the universe offers silence. The absurd is the collision between the two.

  2. IDEA 2

    Revolt, don't escape

    Don't run from the absurd into false hope. Live fully with clear eyes, in conscious defiance.

  3. IDEA 3

    Imagine Sisyphus happy

    Condemned to push a rock uphill forever, Sisyphus can still find happiness by owning his struggle.
