Abstract
The thesis of the paper is that regarding the question of meaning of life in our age, a study of Søren Kierkegaard's The Sickness unto Death (1849) can help us to understand the methodology as well as the theoretical position of Albert Camus' The Myth of Sisyphus´ (1942), a position that has still systematic relevance today. We see in Camus what happens to the meaning of life if a deep foundational religious layer breaks away.
