Camus' life ethics is based on people's sympathy and respect for life, and the life ethics research's major focus is the state of human existence.Camus' ethical thought is based on the recognition of universal human nature which aims to promote the dignity of human being, and to diminish the dignity of God.In his lifetime,Camus has been advocating the faith of love, and to maintain the human dignity and the value of people, to maintain a noble, eternal values.Even during the Second World War and the Algerian war,in the dark and difficult time, he never let himself really desperate, and always maintain memory to the sun, kept faith in love, this is his most worthy of our admiration.Just for this reason, today, research on Camus' life ethics still has great significance.This paper can be divided into four parts on the structure. In the first part, I propose the background and significance of studying Camus' life ethics, summarize the domestic and foreign research status of life ethics,expound the ideas and methods of the research and then I point out the innovation of this paper. In the second part, I describe the background of Camus' life ethics,in the flames of war,the social background of human spiritual civilization reduced, the core of Kierkegaard's‘lonely individual' and Nietzsche's contempt of God atheism thoughts constitute the origin of thought of Camus' life ethics,and Camus lost his father at an early age, by the sponsor of the poor family background.In the third part,I mainly describe the connotation and value orientation of Camus' life ethics thought.Absurdity is the most important of Camus' thought, and is the main line of his works. To face up to the absurd is a kind of courage. From resistance to control, is the value orientation of facing the absurd. Human beings have discovered the existence of absurdity, which fully indicates the conscious awareness of human beings, but it is the resistance that shows that people really enter into life.From the historical development and current situation of human, it's not difficult to find that in the process of the absurd discovery, there is a sense of resistance.From the awakening of the consciousness of resistance to the negative and positive individual resistance until the individual resistance develops into a collective resistance.It is the resistance that causes man to develop from the first individual to the collective, rose from philosophy to history,from abstract thinking to concrete action.However, resistance is limited, if any kind of resistance beyond the boundaries, in violation of human nature, it has lost significance.To achieve a balanced control of the ideal state, reflecting the maturity of the development of Camus thought.In the fourth part,I describe the limitations of Camus' life ethics,the impact on future generations,and the enlightenment tocontemporary China.Camus' balanced Mediterranean thought has now widespread,the positive part of his life ethics thought has great enlightenment to the construction of socialist civilization in our country,but his hypercorrect attitude of "weight quantity, light weight" towards life has also been criticized.
