In the same spirit as his most recent book, Living With Nietzsche,
and his earlier study In the Spirit of Hegel, Robert Solomon turns
to the existential thinkers Albert Camus and Jean-Paul Sartre, in
an attempt to get past the academic and political debates and focus
on what is truly interesting and valuable about their philosophies.
Solomon makes the case that--despite their very different responses
to the political questions of their day--Camus and Sartre were both
fundamentally moralists, and their philosophies cannot be
understood apart from their deep ethical commitments. He focuses on
Sartre's early, pre-1950 work, and on Camus's best known novels The
Stranger, The Plague, and The Fall. Throughout Solomon makes the
important point that their shared interest in phenomenology was
much more important than their supposed affiliation with
"existentialism." Solomon's reappraisal will be of interest to
anyone who is still or ever has been fascinated by these eccentric
but monumental figures.
