George Heffernan’s chapter presents an overview of Camus’s use and understanding of phenomenology, as presented in The Myth of Sisyphus. The second part of Heffernan’s chapter methodically distinguishes major topics in which Camus’s critique of phenomenology, undertaken from the point of view of a person engaged in the theme of absurdity, can be developed and properly understood. In the chapter’s third part, Heffernan considers what objections the phenomenologist could raise had have replied to Camus’s essay. he chapter presents us not only with the unavoidable differences between Husserl’s diverse and systematic analysis and Camus’s rather impressionistic style of philosophising, but also proceeds to offering a view of their common ground. Following other scholars like Avi Sagi or David Sherman, Heffernan concludes that both Camus and Husserl may be seen as thinkers “who describe the phenomenon and the phenomena of human existence in original, significant, and tenable ways”, offering in spite of their differences an illustration of “the creative tension between the search for the meaning of life and the task of living a meaningful life.”
