The rebel

Book • 1951
In 'The Rebel', Albert Camus delves into the nature of rebellion and revolution, exploring their motivations, historical developments, and philosophical implications.

The book discusses how rebellion stems from a human rejection of normative justice and the absurdity of the world.

Camus distinguishes between true and false freedom, critiques various historical and intellectual figures such as the Marquis de Sade and Friedrich Nietzsche, and analyzes the French Revolution and other revolutionary movements.

He argues that while rebellion gives life its value and is a constant confrontation between man and his own obscurity, it often leads to totalitarianism and oppression if not tempered by moral and metaphysical limitations.

The book emphasizes the importance of maintaining individual freedom and solidarity in the face of rebellion and revolution.
