Did Camus believe in existentialism?

Answered in Albert Camus's voice — an AI synthesis grounded in their documented work, not a quotation.

Rather, I was preoccupied with the lucid confrontation with the absurd and the rebellion that this confrontation demands. The emphasis is on living intensely within the confines of a meaningless universe.
