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. 410 0$aGlobal Political Thinkers 606 $aPolitical science$xPhilosophy 606 $aPolitical science 606 $aPhilosophy of mind 606 $aSelf 606 $aWorld politics 606 $aSocial sciences$xPhilosophy 606 $aPolitical Philosophy 606 $aPolitical Theory 606 $aPhilosophy of the Self 606 $aPolitical History 606 $aPolitical Science 606 $aSocial Philosophy 615 0$aPolitical science$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aPolitical science. 615 0$aPhilosophy of mind. 615 0$aSelf. 615 0$aWorld politics. 615 0$aSocial sciences$xPhilosophy. 615 14$aPolitical Philosophy. 615 24$aPolitical Theory. 615 24$aPhilosophy of the Self. 615 24$aPolitical History. 615 24$aPolitical Science. 615 24$aSocial Philosophy. 676 $a170 686 $aPOL011000$2bisacsh 700 $aHayden$b Patrick$f1965-$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0787613 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910255331403321 996 $aCamus and the challenge of political thought$91755177 997 $aUNINA
