This is a video in my new Core Concepts series -- designed to provide students and lifelong learners a brief discussion focused on one main concept from a classic philosophical text and thinker.
This Core Concept video focuses on Albert Camus' early work, The Myth of Sisyphus, and specifically on his discussion of Kafka's work, found in an appendix to the text. He considers Kafka to on the one hand be a writer whose stories and novels do articulate the absurd, but on the other hand, to be an existentialist who ends up deifying the absurd and indulging in hope.

What are your thoughts on philosophy via fiction as an entry to the field? I wanted to ask since Camus is one of the few who does both. Im also thinking of Dostoevsky and Kafka as examples.

[@GregoryBSadler]

I think there are many ways into philosophy. Some are good for some people. Others for others
