Abstract
This work is aimed at exploring Camus' notion of the meaning of life which he holds as absurd. He gave the solution of this meaninglessness of life as Revolt.There is a grounded need for man's continual reflection on the meaning of life and this stands as the purpose for embarking on this research work. This reflection will accentuate into man's full realization of his authentic existence, since looking at our everyday endeavors, man has encountered series of problems and difficulties to which he seeks meaning. Camus outlined three possible responses to the meaninglessness of life which are: suicide, revolt and the leap of faith. He condemned suicide and the existential leap as evasions and endorsed revolt as a proper solution to absurdity of life. Camus having suggested revolt as the solution to absurdity, I note the need also to elevate people's belief that life is worth living. This work adopts as its research method, an expository and reflective approach. Here we shall with a detailed and deep reflective inquiry expose the place of absurdity in Camus' philosophy in order to fully understand his notion of the absurd. With this exposition, a critical analysis of the problems of suicide and revolt will be made.
