Western science and technology development, and gradually establish a rational and absolute position, at the same time with representatives of the Christian theology, have gradually come to the old ways no longer the "supernatural" Inspiration has been generally recognized. Christian concept of divine revelation was questioned, However the rationalism development has not solved the life significance and the value question, unable to provide more value judgment scale, and people in the light of new scientific and economic structure. "Freedom lower, deepening alienation." And during the two world wars, not only seriously undermine the survival of the people a sense of stability. but also fundamentally shake the Christian belief system of values, Person's soul has nothing to rely on fear, anxiety, pain and the feeling of despair in the 20th century Western society. At the same time, a belief and rational risk in the background, Albert Camus exposure to sunlight and suffering, from the existentialist philosophy and the spirit of ancient Greek culture to absorb nutrients Continuation of traditional French philosopher, writer, the plight of modem existence, dumping all his efforts to "individual survival," the 20th century started thinking on the critical issues.Camus works touch on, and discuss, or even image the performance of the "absurd" and "resistance" of the proposition, Although both strict and does not constitute a complete system of philosophy. But Camus honestly express Westerners in the 20th century the situation. The rational and non-rational requirements of the departure from the world; People are longing for eternal life and death between the irreconcilable contradictions; with others, and self-between the unfamiliarity are Camus understanding and expression of the absurd. Although Camus has always condemned the depiction of the loneliness of the human condition, but at the same time, Camus as "absurd" the three predetermined results : resistance (a clear understanding of the challenges gestures), the Liberal (sole) Passion (most of the life). That he has given the resistance to the value of life, a presence throughout the entire process, it was determined that the value, insurgents should be based on reality, in the face of absurdity, and the choice of action to create value and significance. Apparently, Camus in which depicting a pessimistic optimism in a bid to a negative outlook on the world to establish a positive attitude to life.Camus with a strong sense of paradox many times look at the individual situation, he realized the absurdity of a lie. the expression "represents a fracture of the Century" at the literary spirit. However, all mixed up together traditional and modern culture between the collision and digestion, Camus will help make the vision and thinking to the Greek tradition. Reason and faith constitute the spirit of the Greeks dual latitude, despite tension between the two, but also Qin-se harmony, the entire Greek culture showed idyllic beauty of the harmony. It is these cultural characteristics of Greece refers to the general consensus precisely form and the right Camus text internal analysis of reliable evidence, Camus is early or late entries works fully reflect the Camus pursuit of a harmonious and balanced thinking. Camus's thinking it is full of competing with each other to balance the concept: absurd and irrational, with the least resistance, suffering and happiness, sunshine and shadow, and he exhausted his lifetime to explore and balance these conflicting themes. It should be said that Camus in between traditional and modern exploration, finding a balance as a result of permanent tension, trying to "Mediterranean" spirit of harmony, to demand a real human order.
