Albert Camus: From the Absurd to Revolt

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.
