"People want, and need, a basis for their values, but the world offers them none, Camus believed. Because there is no overarching value system, a person can't make everyday value judgments, but is adrift in a meaningless world."

Camus: World offers nothing;
Buber: World neither gives nor experiences anything

Camus: "(...) Meursault says life may have no deeper meaning but he indicates that he feels close to others who share life's predicament."
Buber: Close to others through I-Thou relation. Feel connection to those with same thoughts.
"Meursault is characterized as a person who has no commitment to anyone or to anything except his own small pleasures and the necessities at the moment."
This relates to I-It by showing how the I uses the "It" for personal gain.
