The Absurd Creator Camus writes in The Myth of Sisiphus that the absurd joy par excellence is creation (568). Having previously glorified the lives of action, conquerors, and lovers in the essay, it seems that all absurd men create equally. The conqueror creates his kingdom and the artist his masterpiece. Without creativity, there is no engagement with the absurd, no rebellion. Any time something is created, it is an acknowledgement of discontent with the status quo. #creativity #philosophy ht +Paul Simbeck-Hampson +Inma VP cite Rabac R.
