btw, do you think The Rebel is better?

>> No.3453646

I still can't comprehend how guys like Sartre and Camus went through the whole existential crisis and nihilism thing and ended up with an uninteresting and unwarranted sort of humanist/socialist ethic. It does not follow.

Also, I just read that the Pinguin edition of The Rebel omits the section on Max Stirner. Truly, these publishers are worse than Hitler.

...Yes. That's the point of reading that book.

Now read the Myth of Sisyphus and The Rebel and you'll understand his philosophy as well as anybody.

>> No.3453870

>>3452634
A lot of the chapters were quite worthless to be frank. You could probably get away with just reading the first 2 maybe and the last one. The last is pure fucking sex though

>> No.3453883

Has Camus actually added anything if relevance as far as philosophy goes?

>> No.3453887

>>3453883
I think The Rebel is a lot more relevant than the Myth of Sisyphus, but everyone reads Sisyphus.

>> No.3453908

>>3453883
Not really, he is more an independent and personal philosopher than one who contributed a great lot academically. However, his impact on people was large, so you choose which should be viewed as a bigger accomplishment.

>> No.3455255

Isn't he basically a humanist nihilist?

>> No.3456117

Of Camus I've only read The Stranger. Did he ever write anything that was just an essay of his philosophy, rather than his philosophy revealed through a story?

>> No.3456129

Yes. Myth of Syphilis and The Rebble.
