📝 Description

Albert Camus's 'The Rebel' is a philosophical essay that extends his exploration of absurdism by examining the nature of rebellion and its historical manifestations. Camus distinguishes between genuine rebellion, which seeks to establish limits and affirm human dignity, and nihilistic revolt, which can lead to tyranny. He analyzes various forms of rebellion throughout history, from metaphysical to historical, arguing for a 'rebellion of limits' that avoids the excesses of absolute freedom.
