While the question of human freedom in the metaphysical sense loses interest to the absurd man, he gains freedom in a very concrete sense: no longer bound by hope for a better future or eternity, without a need to pursue life's purpose or to create meaning, "he enjoys a freedom with regard to common rules".
雖然形而上學意義上的人類自由問題對荒謬的人失去了興趣，但他卻在一個非常具體的意義上獲得了自由：不再希望擁有更美好的未來或永恆，不需要追求生命的目的或創造意義， “他在共同規則方面享有自由”。
