The Ethical Pragmatism of Albert Camus by Dean Vasil Pdf

In what, since the age of its Enlightenment, the West has perceived to be an absurd universe, it has had continually to choose between two ways of life as consequences of that perception and of the movement which gave it rise: these are the way of ethics and the way of modern historicist ideology, the way of a moral imperative without God and that of the will to become God in His place. The first is illogical, but the second is irrational, «la prédication de la surhumanité, » as Camus says, «aboutissant à la fabrication méthodique des sous-hommes.» The way of ethics or of man as an end in himself is the way of Camus as well, and one the reflection of whose origins and raison d'être in his own thought is the subject of the two studies in the present essay.

Camus' Literary Ethics by Grace Whistler Pdf

This book seeks to establish the relevance of Albert Camus’ philosophy and literature to contemporary ethics. By examining Camus’ innovative methods of approaching moral problems, Whistler demonstrates that Camus’ work has much to offer the world of ethics— Camus does philosophy differently, and the insights his methodologies offer could prove invaluable in both ethical theory and practice. Camus sees lived experience and emotion as ineliminable in ethics, and thus he chooses literary methods of communicating moral problems in an attempt to draw positively on these aspects of human morality. Using case studies of Camus’ specific literary methods, including dialogue, myth, mime and syntax, Whistler pinpoints the efficacy of each of Camus’ attempts to flesh-out moral problems, and thus shows just how much contemporary ethics could benefit from such a diversification in method.

Albert Camus and the Philosophy of the Absurd by Avi Sagi Pdf

This book is an attempt to read the totality of Camus’s oeuvre as a voyage, in which Camus approaches the fundamental questions of human existence: What is the meaning of life? Can ultimate values be grounded without metaphysical presuppositions? Can the pain of the other penetrate the thick shield of human narcissism and self-interest? Solipsism and solidarity are among the destinations Camus reaches in the course of this journey. This book is a new reading of one of the towering humanists of the twentieth century, and sheds new light on his spiritual world.

Camus and Fanon on the Algerian Question by Pedro Tabensky Pdf

This is the first book to offer a systematic comparison of the philosophies of Albert Camus and Frantz Fanon. It shows how the ethical, political, and psychological outlooks of these two influential thinkers can further our understandings of how to bring about justice in the face of deep power imbalances. The author foregrounds the bloody Algerian War of Independence in his analysis of the philosophies of Camus and Fanon. Although neither supported French colonial occupation of Algeria, they held radically different views of the conflict. Fanon supported emancipation through violence, which the author argues has been uncritically romanticized. Camus, on the other hand, supported an ethics of moderation that shunned indiscriminate violence. The author argues that Camus has been unfairly accused of being an apologist for colonialism. Finally, the author draws out the common endorsement of humanist values that drive both Camus’ and Fanon’s thought. Camus and Fanon on the Algerian Question will appeal to scholars and advanced students interested in twentieth-century Continental philosophy, postcolonialism, existentialism, and African philosophy.

"Ces Forces Obscures de L'âme" by Christine Margerrison Pdf

"In the first decade of a new century, this collection of bilingual essays examines Camus's continuing popularity for a new generation of readers. In crucial respects, the world Camus knew has changed beyond all recognition: decolonization, the fall of the Iron Curtain, a new era of globalization and the rise of new forms of terrorism have all provoked a reconsideration of Camus's writings. If the Absurd once struck a particular chord, Meursault is as likely now to be seen as a colonial figure who expresses the alienation of the settler from the land of his birth. Yet this increasing orthodoxy must also take account of the reasons why a new community of Algerian readers have embraced Camus. Equally, once isolated because of his anti-Communist stance, Camus has been taken up by disaffected members of the Left, convinced that new forms of totalitarianism are abroad in the world. This volume, which ranges from interpretations of Camus's literary works, his journalism and his political writings, will be of interest to all those seeking to re-evaluate Camus's work in the light of ethical and political issues that are of continuing relevance today."--BOOK JACKET.

Albert Camus’ Philosophy by IntroBooks Team Pdf

Albert Camus (Nov 7, 1913 – Jan 4, 1960) was an Algerian born French author, journalist, and philosopher. In 1957, at the age of 44, he has conferred the Nobel Prize in Literature, in history's the second-youngest recipient. Camus had been born to French parents in Algeria. He spent his adolescent days in a shabby neighborhood, and subsequently studied philosophy at Algiers University. He was in Paris in the year 1940 during the Second World War, when the Nazis invaded France. Camus attempted to escape but ended up joining the French Resistance, where he served as editor-in-chief at the war in an outlawed daily newspaper. He was a celebrity figure after the war and rendered many lectures all across the globe. He happened to get married twice but did enjoy a lot of extramarital affairs. Camus was active politically; he belonged to a leftist group, because of his principles of totalitarianism, which challenged the Soviet Union. Camus took pride in being a moralist, leaning on anarcho-syndicalism. He was also part of several groups that were pursuing European integration. He held a moderate stance during the Algerian War commenced in the year 1954 and continued till 1962, promoting a pluralistic and multicultural Algerian existence, a policy that created an uproar, and that was vehemently opposed by a majority of national parties.
