Ordinary fragmentation and the role of consciousness in Camus

Abstract

The work of Albert Camus continues to show unexpected scopes about the challenges that our human condition entails and the responsibility we have to attend to them. With the following lines, we want to offer, precisely, one of these Camusian features that allow us to recognize how a certain meaning of human existence is fragmented because of small contradictory experiences that end up disfiguring the image of a self–confident human subject and what he lives. In front of such experience of meaninglessness, critical judgment is required to describe those who work within the limits of their own condition and are forced to deal with it.
