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,'L'Homme revolte'(The Rebel). |
