This book interprets the ideas, thoughts and concepts that
characterize the writings and philosophy of Albert Camus for our
contemporary times. It investigates Camus' "revolted compassion" as
an outsider and a philosopher-writer who in his own words believed
in "creating dangerously". The author examines Camus' interventions
on political, philosophical and moral questions, such as Algerian
independence, capital punishment, ideological violence, nihilism in
the context of his ideals of the absurd and revolt, and justice and
liberty. Further, it goes on to provide an exhaustive analysis of
Camus' critique of violence and his intellectual resistance to
totalitarianism. Bringing together latest scholarship with an acute
analysis of Albert Camus' philosophy, this sourcebook throws a
powerful light on the intellectual foundations of the twentieth
century and its relevance for the twenty-first. The book will be of
interest to scholars of literature, philosophy and African Studies.
