The philosophy of the absurd (or absurdism) is a movement created by Albert Camus, author of such masterful works as "The Myth of Sisyphus", "The Rebel", "The Stranger" or "Caligula". Throughout this short documentary, the myth of Sisyphus will be analyzed in detail to illustrate the main characteristics of absurdist thought. In addition, the three teachings belonging to the path of acceptance proposed by the French writer will be presented: rebellion, passion and freedom.

This term should not be interpreted colloquially as a synonym for illogical, incoherent or stupid. We are talking about words that could be similar to a certain extent, but that do not mean the same thing. Broadly speaking, absurdity covers the internal conflict of the human being between the search for an intrinsic, enlightening and objective meaning of life and its apparent nonexistence. Put simply, we do not know why we are here, what our ultimate objective is both individually and collectively - if there is one - and, to top it all off, no higher entity, universal force or deity will be in charge of reorganizing and/or transforming matter to satisfy our vital needs and protect us from the dangers that the environment presents us. And, in the hypothetical scenario that we designed a life project that is beneficial for society and rewarding for us, our satisfaction would always be limited by death. According to Camus, the efforts made by human beings to find meaning within the universe are resounding failures by definition, since there is no rational explanation capable of unifying everything. Be careful: it is not that the world per se is absurd, nor is man as such. The absurd arises when the inherent and latent need of the human being to understand how things work and to give meaning to his existence based on understanding clashes radically with the irrationality that this world emanates, that is, when the desire to find an effect for every cause, a reason for every fact and a whole for every part meets with the irreducibility to a rational and reasonable principle. We think we know, but our knowledge is a speck of dust compared to what we do not know. Under such circumstances, what an average civitas could expect from his life is little more than a set of monotonous, repetitive, futile, useless and meaningless acts that he performs out of habit, tradition and inertia rather than out of coherence and logic.
