Actually Albert Camus was a philosopher using the story to explain in an interesting way. Remember at the end when the main character comes the conclusion that life is pointless? That's existentialism for you, the philosophy that says life is pointless and nothing matters. So you might as well just do whatever you feel like; (All he did before imprisonment was hang out with his girlfriend and friends.) Also to back this up the anonymous main character was pretty much neutral towards everything. (For example, he didn't care that his mom died.)
