Summary
Albert Camus: The Rebel Man
This extensive philosophical essay was published shortly after Camus won the Nobel Prize. Thematizing rebellion, freedom, justice, individuality versus collectivism and murder, the essay, along with other more popular titles - be it novels, plays or philosophical discussions, represents a full-fledged part of the author's oeuvre and a significant contribution to his philosophy of existentialism. For a long time, the essay was viewed through the negative judgment of the author's eternal opponent, Sartre. Is murder justified by the ideology of the system and state interest still a crime and what is the meaning of rebellion are the basic problems of this text, which the author solves by interpreting the concepts of metaphysical and historical rebellion, rebellion and art, and the specifics of Mediterranean thought.
