Opis

A gateway to investigating whether Albert Camus s ideal of living without conceptual absolutes is an attainable goal, this work shows how his writings touch upon a freedom from the anxiety of living that raise a specter of Eastern philosophical horizons. The book shares how the works of Camus, in terms of the East, are present in his fictional illustrations of: alienated 20th-century outsiders, as depicted in "The Stranger"; the pursuit of truths that are not immutable and absolute in "The Myth of Sisyphus"; the absurdity of irrational views of reality in "Caligula"; and culminates with "The Rebel," which warned of illusory dogmas of absolutist philosophies."
