Camus has his virtues. I would not, however, look to him for philosophical guidance.
“There is only one really serious philosophical problem, and that is suicide,” is hardly a statement indicative of a sound disposition.

- devinjon 3y ago>>... it's just a complementary way of presenting the question "what is the meaning of life?" Yes and no. The framing implies the answer and is fully in keeping with Camus's brand of admirably droll epicureanism. Try to imagine a parallel in your own personal sphere. If a friend or loved one came to you and declared their intention to think of a reason not to kill themselves, would you see it as sign of philosophical depth?
