For Camus, the absurd was not negative, not a synonym for “ridiculous,” but the true state of existence. Accepting the view that life is absurd is to embrace a “realistic” view of life: the absence of universal logic. This approach to philosophy is more radical than Nietzsche’s “God is dead.” One might rephrase Camus’ absurdism as “God? No thanks\u2026 I’m on my own.”<\/p>\n

Many mistakenly believe Camus saw no meaning in life; even Camus and Nietzsche seek “meaning” in life, but not in manners familiar to most. For Camus, meaning was in the human experience. Absurdity does not render life meaningless — people have meaning because they interact with each other, while remaining in control of their own destinies. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And that I would add, that such “meaning” cannot be, and must not be, (i) fixed, (ii) eternal.<\/p>\n
