Alienation and death in the philosophy of Albert Camus

The concepts of nonsense / incongruity and revolt are the cornerstones of Albert Camus's thought. The gap formed in the communication between the human mind and the world brings the person face to face with alienation. The teaching of Camus has moved from the realization of the incompatibility emerging with this alienation to a philosophy of revolt. Death is an important element in the transition phase in this thought system. In the philosophy of Albert Camus, the concepts of revolt and suicide come to the fore with the problem of alienation and incompatibility. The emergence of a question of questioning the meaning of life based on these concepts has a holistic meaning with all the main concepts of Camus. This study tries to examine the role of alienation in Albert Camus philosophy and the concept of death in Camus's thought. In order to dig deeper into his philosophical teaching, Camus's place in the philosophy of existence and its basic concepts are included. In the first part of the thesis, it is aimed to mention the place of Albert Camus in the philosophy of existence. In the second part, the concept of alienation, which is one of the main issues of the thesis, is discussed and discussed through its causes and results.
