Albert Camus: The Philosopher of Absurdism
Albert Camus was born on Nov. 7, 1913, in Mondovi, a town in French Algeria.When he was only 1, his father, who fought in World War I, was killed, and his destitute mother raised him.In spite of poverty, Camus did well in school and was accepted at the University of Algiers.He read philosophy with an emphasis on classical philosophy, ethics, and literature.
Bergman early on had to give up competitive sports when tuberculosis caused him to be sidelined and interrupted his education, but his early trials gave him an abiding sense of mortality and human frailty — qualities that would resonate in his work later.
The light of the Mediterranean, the landscapes of North Africa, the tensions of colonial life indelibly shaped his aesthetics.For Camus, nature was not just backdrop — it was essential to the comprehension of existence.
