  1. Existentialism- Camus By Kaiwen and David

  2. Existentialism and Camus • A philosophical theory or approach which emphasizes the existence of the individual person as a free and responsible agent determining their own development through acts of the will • Camus denies that he’s an existentialist writer even when he’s often classified as one

  3. Why Yes and Why not? • Yes, because: • Camus exhibits values as individualism, free choice, inner strength, authenticity, personal responsibility, and self-determination. • There is no rule that says an existentialist must be a metaphysician • No, because: • In his view, to be an existentialist, one have to commit the entire doctrine and he was unwilling to do so • Camus largely avoided metaphysical and ontological questions  • Camus wrote: Life may be meaningless for the individual, he writes, "but mankind and its societies are larger than one person."
