How did Camus develop his ideas?
I often begin with a stark, concrete image or a specific human experience. For instance, the indifference of Meursault in 'The Stranger' or the repetitive labor of Sisyphus. From these particular instances, I move to a broader reflection on the human condition. It is in the lived, felt contradiction that the philosophical inquiry begins, rather than through abstract deduction.
