La disposition de l’homme sur sa condition metaphysique dans <i>l’homme revolte</i> d’Albert camus

Abstract

Our essay is entitled : « The Response of man to his metaphysical condition in The Rebel by Albert Camus. » The paper attempts to unveil  the response of man to his metaphysical condition in the absurd world. Camus’s philosophy depicts the irresolvable emptiness of man in  his futile search for meaning and clarity in his existence. Man is perplexed and as such, runs to God, gods and goddesses, powers and  principalities for help. His perplexity and futile search for meaning and help in his existence through metaphysical and telelogical creation  constitute the problem of this study. As a response to this unabridged gap of the irresolvable emptiness, man in Camus’s work  is nehelist. He denies God, gods and goddesses and other powers that never find a lasting solution for his quest for meaning and clarity  in the absurd world. We have adopted the analytic method to unfold mans response to his metaphysical condition. Our fundamental  objective is to show how man in Camus’s work takes a metaphysical revolt to react to his endless cycle of his futile search for meaning in  the absurd world. The essay has adopts the philosophy of absurdity to human confrotation in the search of meaning and clarity. In  addition, the essay has adopted the sociological approach to look at man’s relationship with his universe. We have discovered that man in  Camus’s universe has taken a metapysical revolt as a response to his endless cycles of futile search for meaning and clarity. He is nihilist and confrontational.
