Albert Camus, The Myth Of Sisyphus - A Sketch: Drama and The Actor - Sadler's Lectures
This lecture discusses key ideas from the 20th century philosopher, novelist, and essayist Albert Camus' work The Myth of Sisyphus
Specifically it examines the second sketch or example he discusses in the second part of the work, "The Absurd Man". Taking the stage actor as a paradigm, Camus examines how living out a life that imitates many other lives on the stage, portraying passions through the body, can be one kind of an "ethics of quantity"
