His distinctive contribution to modern ethical and political thought remains far from settled. Camus and the Challenge of Political Thought comprehensively yet concisely explores how Camus's compelling ideas of absurdity and rebellion emerged, how his complex political engagements and positions developed, and how his conception of an ethics of limits and measure retains a vital, contemporary resonance in an era of unsettling global politics. Drawing upon the full range of Camus's notebooks, novels, plays and philosophical essays, Hayden shows Camus to be an original political thinker of human dignity and freedom whose life and work sought to navigate between the twin dangers of idealistic optimism and nihilistic despair.Global Political ThinkersPolitical sciencePhilosophyPolitical sciencePhilosophy of mindSelfWorld politicsSocial sciencesPhilosophyPolitical PhilosophyPolitical TheoryPhilosophy of the SelfPolitical HistoryPolitical ScienceSocial PhilosophyPolitical sciencePhilosophy.Political science.Philosophy of mind.Self.World politics.Social sciencesPhilosophy.Political Philosophy.Political Theory.Philosophy of the Self.Political History.Political Science.Social Philosophy.170POL011000bisacshHayden Patrick1965-authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut787613BOOK9910255331403321Camus and the challenge of political thought1755177UNINA
