Sisyphus is the absurd hero both for his passion for life and his scorn for the gods... The struggle itself is enough to fill his heart. One must imagine Sisyphus happy.
Camus’s answer in The Myth of Sisyphus is that we should not. We should not, that is, take the leap of faith, as Kierkegaard, Chestov, and Jaspers had, for this would be to commit “philosophical suicide” and to annihilate reason...
The proper response to the absurd, Camus argues, is revolt. Revolt is the refusal to accept the absurd, the struggle to live with it and in spite of it.
This is the heart of what is known as Sartrean existentialism. The formula for it, which provided the title for his famous 1945 lecture, is “existence precedes essence.”
The religious solution, which Camus calls “philosophical suicide,” is an escape from the absurd. It is a solution that requires the renunciation of human reason.
