Albert Camus was a French-Algerian philosopher, author, and journalist, best known for his contributions to existentialism and absurdism. He is often associated with the philosophy of the absurd, which explores the conflict between humans' desire to find meaning in life and the inherent meaninglessness of the universe. Camus rejected traditional existentialism's focus on despair, instead advocating for a life of rebellion, freedom, and moral integrity despite life's absurdity. His most famous works include The Stranger (L’Étranger), The Plague (La Peste), and The Myth of Sisyphus. Camus was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1957 for his profound influence on modern thought and literature.
