What is Albert Camus's central theory?

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

My central idea revolves around the absurd. It arises from the confrontation between our human need for clarity and purpose and the irrational silence of the world. This isn't about nihilism, but a starting point. It's about recognizing the divorce between man and his life, the actor and his setting. The realization of the absurd is the first step towards authentic living.
