5-0 out of 5 stars El primer hombre: síntesis de un pensamiento.
Están ante un libro excelente que relata los primeros años de la vida del escritor en Argel, cuando todavía era un niño (y pobre, además). Si bien es autobiográfico, contiene reflexiones altamente relacionadas con la filosofía existencialista - y deliciosa, por qué no - de Albert Camus. No está terminado, contiene "notas" al final como la conocida obra de Marcel Porust.. Esto se debe, creo, a que su publicación es póstuma pues Camus murió antes de terminarla. Léanla, y no se pierdan CALÍGULA, EL MITO DE SÍSIFO, EL EXTRANJERO y LA PESTE, del mismo autor. Camus es una aventura introspectiva que habla de vida, amor, libertad y muerte de una manera simplemente exquisita. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars It is good to have more of Camus
This is from Philip Thody's introduction to this volume." The essays and other texts published in this volume are not primarily concerned with Camus's philosophical or political ideas. They are intended to give a portrit of Camus the writer and literary critic, as well as of Camus the individual" The volume is divided into four sections, the first on Lyrical Essays the second on Critical Essays, the third 'Camus on The Outsider and the Plague, the fourth on Sketches for a Self- Portrait.
The essays and notebooks do not have the force of his major works, but it is good to have more Camus, more of his reflective wisdom and his lyrical perception of life.
Here is an excerpt from an essay titled, " The Future of Tragedy" It seems in fact that tragedy is born in the West each time that the pendulum of civilization is halfway between a sacred society and a society built around man. On two occasions, twenty centuries apart , we find a struggle between a world that is still interpreted in a sacred context and men who are already committed to their individuality, that is to say, armed with the power to question. In both cases , the individual increasingly asserts himself , the blance is gradually destroyed and the tragic spirit falls silent.When Neitzsche accuses Socrates of having dug the grave of classical Greek tragedy, he is right up to a certain point- exactly to the same extent that it is true to say of Descartes that he marks the end of the tragic movement born of the Renaissance. In fact, the traditional Christian universe is called into question by the Reformation, the discovery of the world and the flowering of the scientific spirit. Gradually, the individual stands up against the sacred order of things and against destiny. Shakespeare then throws his passionate creatures against the simulataneously evil and just order of the world. Death and pity invade the stage and once againthe final words of tragedy ring out " A higher life is born of my despair". ... Read more

Editorial Review

Product Description
In this profound and moving philosophical statement, Camus poses the fundamental question: is life worth living? If human existence holds no significance, what can keep us from suicide? As Camus argues, if there is no God to give meaning to our lives, humans must take on that purpose themselves. This is our absurd task, like Sisyphus forever rolling his rock up a hill, as the inevitability of death constantly overshadows us. Written during the bleakest days of the Second World War, "The Myth of Sisyphus" argues for an acceptance of reality that encompasses revolt, passion and, above all, liberty. This volume contains several other essays, including lyrical evocations of the sunlit cities of Algiers and Oran, and the settings of his great novels "The Outsider" and "The Plague". ... Read more

Editorial Review

Product Description

Marking a major new reassessment of Camus' writing, this book investigates the nature and philosophical origins of Camus' thinking on "authenticity" and "the absurd" as these motions are expressed in "The Myth of Sisyphus" and "The Outsider", showing these books to be the product not only of a literary figure, but of a genuine philosopher as well. Moreover, the author provides a complete English-language translation of Camus' "Metaphysique Chretienne et Neoplatonisme" and underlines the importance of this study for the understanding of the early Camus. The book also contains analyses of the influence of St Augustine and Nietzsche on Camus.

Editorial Review

Product Description
Existentialism is a philosophy that flourishes in extreme situations. Identified with the period of the French Resistance when Frenchmen were held as political prisoners by the Germans, existentialism, with its call for an uncompromised allegiance to a leftist system of values, served to boost the sagging morale of French political prisoners who had witnessed during the Occupation the subversion of their nation's democratic principles by German totalitarianism. The author finds in post-independence Ghana another example of an extreme situation which has given rise to the existentialist patterns in the novels of the Ghanaian author Ayi Kwei Armah. The identification of a crisis situation in post-independence Ghana, comparable to that created by the German occupation of France during World War II, serves largely as the basis for the examination of the recurrent existentialist patterns. This book explores the existential angst of the artist hero and the necessity of revolt to combat the despair which comes from recognition of his superfluousness. Works by the Ghanaian author Ayi Kwei Armah, as well as by the French authors Albert Camus, Jean-Paul Sartre, and Simone de Beauvoir, are the focus of study. ... Read more

Editorial Review

Product Description
Throughout his life, Albert Camus confronted the central dramas of our civilization: the existential anxiety over 'the death of God' and the absurdity of human existence; the political struggles over social injustice, capital punishment, and national liberation; and the international focus on nuclear annihilation, violations of human rights, and torture. Addressing the West at its metaphysical and mythic roots, Camus sought to diagnose the interior forces that seemed to propel humanity toward self-destruction. David Sprintzen offers the first original and comprehensive analysis in English of the thought of Albert Camus from a philosophical perspective. Previous literary and psychoanalytical studies have presented Camus' life and works biographically, but philosophers have neither taken his thought seriously nor examined his work as a whole. With analytical precision and philosophical depth, Sprintzen confronts a corpus whose contemporary resonances as well as Greco-Roman and Judeo-Christian origins dramatize the metaphysical foundations of Western experience.In this seventy-fifth anniversary of the philosopher's birth, "Camus: A Critical Examination" shows how his analysis of political action offers a radical and non dogmatic perspective from which contemporary struggles can gain significant illumination. David Sprintzen is Professor of Philosophy at C.W. Post College of Long Island University. ... Read more
