More about the book
Through an interdisciplinary lens, John Foley delves into Camus' political and philosophical ideas, emphasizing the concepts of "the absurd" and "revolt." The book offers a thorough examination of Camus' contributions to the newspaper Combat, debates on political violence, and critiques of his humanism, particularly in the context of postcolonial perspectives. Additionally, it highlights the often-overlooked work, L'Homme révolté (The Rebel). The analysis is crafted to engage both academic scholars and students, making it a significant resource in Camus studies.
