Adopting an interdisciplinary approach, encompassing philosophy, literature, politics and history, John Foley examines the full breadth of Camus'' ideas to provide a comprehensive and rigorous study of his political and philosophical thought and a significant contribution to a range of debates current in Camus research. Foley argues that the coherence of Camus'' thought can best be understood through a thorough understanding of the concepts of ''the absurd'' and ''revolt'' as well as the relation between them. This book includes a detailed discussion of Camus'' writings for the newspaper "Combat", a systematic analysis of Camus'' discussion of the moral legitimacy of political violence and terrorism, a reassessment of the prevailing postcolonial critique of Camus'' humanism, and a sustained analysis of Camus'' most important and frequently neglected work, "L''Homme revolte" (The Rebel).
