The Study of Albert Camus's Approach to the Meaning of Life

Message:
Abstract:
Human beings need a compelling reason to live. In other words, "for what" purpose arewe here and why should we live? If there is no "for", human beings will be incapable ofdoing their everyday activities and will not know how to spend their lives. However, alldiscussions are about this question: where can we access this "for"? Is this "for" placedin the nature of human beings and should we achieve this by search and exploration? Oris it that this "for" has no objectivity and is a subjective matter and every person has aunique definition of it for his life? In other words, is the meaning of life an exploratoryissue or is it independent of human beings? Or it is an issue dependent on the subjectwho should create it creatively? In case that each one of these ideas is considered, whatis the method and possibilities of such exploration or creation? An even more importantquestion which is presented in line with the previous questions is whether basicallymeaning is a supernatural issue or does it belong to a field other than life in this world?In this arena, Albert Camus is one of the 20th century scholars who presents the issue ofthe meaning of life from a particular perspective and by removing metaphysical ideasand limiting life to this world, accepts the meaningfulness of life.
