Albert Camus on happiness
Albert Camus (1913–1960) approaches happiness within Absurdism / existential literature. In The Myth of Sisyphus, Camus asks whether life is worth living once the absurd is recognized, and answers with lucidity and revolt rather than leap of faith or suicide. Later political writings, including The Rebel, examine violence, solidarity, and limits.
