This lecture discusses key ideas from the 20th century philosopher, novelist, and essayist Albert Camus' work The Myth of Sisyphus

Specifically it examines on his discussion of authors who realize the absurd, but then employ it for what Camus terms "escape", the "leap", or even "philosophical suicide".  In the process he considers and criticizes a number of different existentialist authors.
