The standard interpretation keeps repeating that Camus is the
prototypical "absurdist" thinker. Such a reading freezes Camus at
the stage at which he wrote The Stranger and The Myth of Sisyphus.
By taking seriously how (1) Camus was always searching and (2) the
rest of his corpus, Albert Camus and the Philosophy of the Ordinary
corrects the one-sided, and thus faulty, depiction of Camus as
committed to a philosophy of absurdism. His guiding project, which
he explicitly acknowledged, was an attempt to get beyond nihilism,
the general dismissal of value and meaning in ordinary life.
Tracing this project via Camus's works, Albert Camus and the
Philosophy of the Ordinary, offers a new lens for thinking about
the well-known author.
