Albert Camus and Existentialism Clay Morrison Nadelyn Clark Jessica Flowers

Biographical Information Camus was born on November 7, 1913 in Dréan, which is located in French Algeria. In 1923, Camus was accepted into lycée (high school) before attending the University of Algiers. In 1935, Camus completed his license of philosophy (bachelor’s degree). Later, he presented his thesis on Neoplatonism and Christian thought for his master’s degree. Camus died in a car crash on January 4th, 1960, in Villeblevin, France.

Spiritual History and Point-of-View Camus’ thought is similar to that of a Christian moralist. However, he is a deist rather than a true Christian. Camus understands pride as our attempt to imitate god. Additionally, he believes that life does not have a fundamental point and that “people should reject god defiantly in order to pour out their loving solicitude upon mankind.”

Existential and Aesthetic Point-of-View Camus had a strong interest in the human psyche and the concept of the independent spirit. He exhibits a personal commitment to individual choice, personal responsibility, and self-determination. Camus claims that he is not an existentialist, but it is clear that he aims at a thorough, candid explanation of the human condition.

Ethical Point-of-View Camus believed that one is a separate individual from their family and that each individual has his/her own responsibility. However, Camus also emphasizes that societies are much larger than just one person and are an interconnected system.

Influences In college, Albert studied Kierkegaard (who provided a Christian influence). He later studied Schopenhaur and Nietzche, who sent him towards opptimism and pessimism. Camus’ other influences came from Descartes, Spinoza, and Bergson (who were modern philosophers). Additionally, writers such as Stendhal, Melville, Dosotoyevsky, and Kafka provided Camus with philosophical inspiration.
