Description and Table of Contents

Description

This book is the first English-language collection of essays by leading Camus scholars from around the world to focus on Albert Camus' place and status as a philosopher amongst philosophers. After a thematic introduction, the dedicated chapters of Part 1 address Camus' relations with leading philosophers, from the ancient Greeks to Jean-Paul Sartre (Augustine, Hume, Kant, Diderot, Nietzsche, Kierkegaard, Husserl, Hegel, Marx, Sartre). Part 2 contains pieces considering philosophical themes in Camus' works, from the absurd in The Myth of Sisyphus to love in The First Man (the absurd, psychoanalysis, justice, Algeria, solidarity and solitude, revolution and revolt, art, asceticism, love).
