Albert camus: from the absurd to revolt

Foley, j.

9781844651412 - Albert camus: from the absurd to revolt
Secondhand

Article description

Adopting an interdisciplinary approach, encompassing philosophy, literature, politics and history, John Foley examines the full breadth of Camus ideas to provide a comprehensive and rigorous study of his political and philosophical thought and a significant contribution to a range of debates current in Camus research. Foley argues that the coherence of Camus thought can best be understood through a thorough understanding of the concepts of the absurd and revolt as well as the relation between them. This book includes a detailed discussion of Camus writings for the newspaper Combat, a systematic analysis of Camus discussion of the moral legitimacy of political violence and terrorism, a reassessment of the prevailing postcolonial critique of Camus humanism, and a sustained analysis of Camus most important and frequently neglected work, LHomme revolte (The Rebel).
