The idea that Camus states in the above excerpt is related to the existentialist theme of philosophy as a way of life.
This theme is based on the idea that philosophy must be integrated within life, so as to offer meaning to people's life, without marginalizing this power to those specially dedicated to philosophy. This is the same idea Camus conveys in this excerpt, by suggesting that all of us should achieve a level of consciousness so that everything is worth.
