The Myth of Sisyphus

From the perspective of energy entropy change, the nature of the world tends to be chaotic and absurd, and the same is true for life. In addition to useless physical suicide and mental escape, the third attitude towards suicide is to persist in struggle and fight against the absurdity of life. ——Camus

Give up hope and stand up to resist. Camus' sobriety pointed out a way for those who were walking alone. Life itself is meaningless, people give it meaning. Good book. There are still some parts that I don't quite understand. I'll come back and re-read it a few times when I'm more settled.

Thoughts are awakened through repetition, creating a sense of absurdity. Our repetitive life is like Sisyphus pushing the boulder, thinking about it on the way down the mountain when the boulder returns to its original position and causes pain. This book only affirms and gives meaning to pushing the boulder. But what I want is to escape the fate of pushing stones and avoid the punishment of the gods.

I can't understand the original text, but I appreciate the wonderful explanation in the appendix. Life is eternally absurd, and hope is an illusory spiritual comfort. The only way to truly resist absurdity is resistance based on the present. Resistance is the unyielding and courage of human nature. The advancement towards the peak itself is enough to enrich the human soul, and resistance itself will reshape the meaning and value of life.

When I read it before, I remember there was a problem with the translation. After all, philosophy books bring the translator's understanding.

First of all, I highly recommend everyone to read this book, because it is not long and I basically finished it in two hours. Secondly, it made me realize a very romantic and hazy word "absurdity". Before that, I had not thought about what absurdity was, and I did not think that my life was absurd at all. But when we calm down to think about this issue, when we truly realize that our lives are absurd. When life is absurd, we repeat it day after day and see no hope, then we need to pursue the meaning of life. We should think that we are happy. After all, life itself has no meaning. What is important is the meaning given to it by people. I think this is the charm of existential philosophy. I will continue to learn and keep improving. This is the meaning I am pursuing. I hope everyone can encourage you [Note]

A rare philosophical essay. After listening to it, I felt a little dizzy at first, but it does give people a lot of thoughts about the meaning of human existence in this world. As humans, we may be the only creatures on this planet that consider the question of "whether we are meaningful." But the biggest question is, does our world itself really have meaning? The difficulty we face in finding our own meaning among meaninglessness is what Camus calls absurdity. Does it make sense? Makes no sense. Doesn't it make sense? Always find some meaning. Does it make sense to find meaning? In fact, it seems meaningless... This is the absurd itself.

Although it is a bit difficult to understand, if you have some patience, the author's talent will come out vividly on the page, and you will slowly enter the author's world, which is very enjoyable.

[Almost crying] [Almost crying] Camus is my god 55555 All books must be read!

In real life, everyone is Sisyphus. A person's connection with society and the responsibilities society gives people are like boulders, which cannot be escaped or escaped. You can only try your best to collect even the smallest happiness on the way to make this moment of your existence full of meaning. The result is not important, it is enough to get a moment of happiness.

Wan Liao, I can't understand it, but I think it's awesome. . . .

Living is the best resistance to this unfair fate

The myth of Sisyphus that I just started to understand is his most famous one, Sisyphus pushing the stone up the mountain. Unexpectedly, he is not the focus of the whole book, but he is the representative point of the whole book. The layout of this book is very good, and each section is comprehensive. It may be boring or even difficult to understand at first, but every time I read a thought-provoking sentence in some paragraphs, I discovered its value. Furthermore, there are annotations in the appendix, so don't worry if you can't understand it. The author of this book uses a narrative tone as if he is talking to us. He first asks us the questions he wants to study, and then refutes them one by one, or elicits other people's opinions, or leaves blank questions to make people think deeply. It made me feel that Camus's absurd worldview allowed me to understand a more comprehensive Camus and a more comprehensive world. In short, it is a masterpiece, no doubt [Send my heart][Send my heart][Send my heart] Another version provides a detailed introduction to Camus's life, which is also worth reading to get a deeper understanding of Camus.

After reading this book for the first time, I didn't understand a lot, but I was happy the moment I finished reading it.

I read this book when I suffer from severe depression. This is the only book I can read. Like it.

A masterpiece in the field of philosophy, although it is difficult for me to understand it. When you can't find the meaning of life, come and see Sisyphus.

Most people who have listened to the book will listen to it and read it over and over again. What I feel after listening to and reading it now is that I have never read most of the books by the authors mentioned in the article.

People are always pursuing happiness, and then they work hard to make money, and they deviate from their pursuit as they go. They think that working hard to make money is their own purpose and pursuit, which greatly reduces their happiness? ! Faced with a meaningless life, people have only one final result: to rest in peace... But our existence is meaning, and our existence can give meaning to life. Under the regulations of moral principles and legal principles, our actions, thoughts, etc. Can all have meaning. With the end of life, everything will end, but the process is the meaning. The process is a piece of drawing paper. It is up to you to decide what color you want!

This book gave me a new appreciation for meaning. It talks about the elements of absurdity, life, death, and suicide. Regarding the meaning of life, I will always think about it at a certain moment. What is the meaning of life? The explanation given by Camus made me think about why we must pursue "meaning" too much. Meaning is defined by humans, and the world itself seems to have no meaning. Human beings pursue the essence of things too much, want to explore everything in the world, and want to use logical thinking to explain the world. The conflict between this kind of irrationality and the desire to understand is what Camus said is absurd. It's so absurd, so why should we be like this? He actually said that we should face the absurd, recognize the absurd and then experience it. Yes, we don't have to pursue meaning too much. Existence is the meaning itself. Give up the obsession with "meaning", imagine that Sisyphus is happy, and experience everything in the world. (I'm so lucky to have read this book)

What looks good and feels absurd is actually an awakening of self-awareness

The only serious philosophical question is suicide. The answer to the meaning of life is the core question of philosophy.

If there's a bad thing, it's the translator. Translation always makes me feel that something is missing, which makes me very tired when reading, so I re-translate the translation into English. It seems that there is some problem with the subject, which makes the translation look like half a sentence.

This is the result of the author's in-depth thinking. There are many things that I still can't understand or appreciate the truth after reading them once. Therefore, it cannot become a path of thought for me for the time being, but it can be used as flowers and plants on the roadside to expand my horizons.

Great review, hard to understand on first read, life has no meaning! Over and over again, either suicide or resistance

I don't quite understand the myth of Sisyphus, but overall it's pretty good.

The struggle of pushing a boulder up a mountain is enough to enrich one's heart!

The process of reaching the top is happiness in itself. Each of us lives like Sisyphus. In the towering mountains, why are we holding the boulder high again, after repeating it countless times.

I feel it is suitable for people who are looking for the meaning of life to read. Between the lines, you can see absurdity and confusion. Sisyphus's pushing of the boulder day after day reflects each other's daily life. Some will choose to be numb, and some will choose to perceive happiness. These are all the results of their own choices. One of the purposes of feeling books is to use this as a guide to let people unravel the threads in their hearts and try to find the meaning of life. However, the sentence is not easy to read. I am not sure whether it is due to the translation or the original sentence. It is not suitable for beginners to read. It involves many references to Western works and the author's words.

This is a very good book. Although it is philosophy, it is not difficult to understand and has great significance for people's lives.

We must imagine Sisyphus happy
