The core: Camus argues that the opposite of suicide is revolt against the meaningless world. If one accepts it is meaningless, suicide is the only logical conclusion. But if one revolts, tries to find personal meaning and continuously confronts that meaning, living is constituted. The only reasonable freedom is “that which a human heart can experience and live.” “The purest of joys is feeling.”

Camus seems to try and do away with the biggest avenues of philosophy by arguing against them. Eventually he argues that Reason is not what many people claim thought itself, but simply an “instrument of thought”. Camus seems to dislike existentialists the most as they claim the universe is absurd, but simultaneously claim rules and objective fact. Camus dislikes the hypocrisy. Camus really isn’t easy to read.
