this definition, while technically correct, doesn't begin to cover how this philosophy has changed my life. in an irrational universe devoid of inherent meaning, we are left to our own devices in answering the question:

the myth of sisyphus

one of the seminal works of absurdist literature. camus uses sisyphus and others to demonstrate his philosophy. a great introductory text.
