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

Specifically it examines his discussion of Kafka's work, found in an appendix to the text. He considers Kafka to on the one hand be a writer whose stories and novels do articulate the absurd, but on the other hand, to be an existentialist who ends up deifying the absurd and indulging in hope.
