Abstract

Absurdism is a milestone in the history of philosophy. When it is studied, Albert Camus can’t avoid being mentioned, who is a representative of Absurdism. Literature leads mankind to concretely experience abstract philosophy. Camus’s literature is the specific manifestation of his Absurdism. Among all his works, “The Outsider” is the most recognized one, in which the absurd world and characters are vividly depicted to show his contemplation about life and living. Based on the analysis of “The Outsider”, this paper will discuss the core concept of Camus’s absurdism and how it is revealed in “The Outsider”.
