Camus, Philosophe: To Return to our Beginnings is the first book on Camus to read Camus in light of, and critical dialogue with, subsequent French and European philosophy. It argues that, while not an academic philosopher, Albert Camus was a philosophe in more profound senses looking back to classical precedents, and the engaged French lumières of the 18th century. Aiming his essays and literary writings at the wider reading public, Camus’ criticism of the forms of ‘political theology’ enshrined in fascist and Stalinist regimes singles him out markedly from more recent theological and messianic turns in French thought. His defense of classical thought, turning around the notions of natural beauty, a limit, and mesure makes him a singularly relevant figure given today’s continuing debates about climate change, as well as the way forward for the post-Marxian Left. This book is also available in paperback.

Albert Camus a vingt-deux ans quand il commence à écrire régulièrement dans ses « Cahiers » ; il ne cessera pas jusqu’à sa mort. Il en préparait alors la publication ; elle sera posthume, sous le titre de Carnets. Ces textes, aussi inclassables que divers (laboratoire de l’œuvre, « choses vues », notes de lectures, impressions de voyages, réflexions philosophiques et, de plus en plus vers la fin de sa vie, notations intimes) sont souvent cités ; ils n’avaient jamais été étudiés en tant que tels. Ils le sont ici, par des chercheurs d’horizons divers, qui interrogent les modalités et les enjeux de cette écriture très spécifique. Les Carnets prennent ainsi toute leur place dans l’œuvre camusienne, dont ils mettent au jour les ressorts secrets. Au cœur de cette écriture fragmentaire, l’exigence artistique de Camus est aussi manifeste qu’ailleurs ; et c’est à ses Carnets qu’en 1937 - il a alors vingt-quatre ans - il confie sa certitude, qui ne se démentira pas : « Écrire, ma joie profonde ! ». Lire les Carnets se révèle indispensable pour qui veut vraiment connaître Camus...

In these original readings of Albert Camus' novels, short stories, and political essays, David Carroll concentrates on Camus' conflicted relationship with his Algerian background and finds important critical insights into questions of justice, the effects of colonial oppression, and the deadly cycle of terrorism and counterterrorism that characterized the Algerian War and continues to surface in the devastation of postcolonial wars today. During France's "dirty war" in Algeria, Camus called for an end to the violence perpetrated against civilians by both France and the Algerian National Liberation Front (FLN) and supported the creation of a postcolonial, multicultural, and democratic Algeria. His position was rejected by most of his contemporaries on the Left and has, ironically, earned him the title of colonialist sympathizer as well as the scorn of important postcolonial critics. Carroll rescues Camus' work from such criticism by emphasizing the Algerian dimensions of his literary and philosophical texts and by highlighting in his novels and short stories his understanding of both the injustice of colonialism and the tragic nature of Algeria's struggle for independence. By refusing to accept that the sacrifice of innocent human lives can ever be justified, even in the pursuit of noble political goals, and by rejecting simple, ideological binaries (West vs. East, Christian vs. Muslim, "us" vs. "them," good vs. evil), Camus' work offers an alternative to the stark choices that characterized his troubled times and continue to define our own. "What they didn't like, was the Algerian, in him," Camus wrote of his fictional double in The First Man. Not only should "the Algerian" in Camus be "liked," Carroll argues, but the Algerian dimensions of his literary and political texts constitute a crucial part of their continuing interest. Carroll's reading also shows why Camus' critical perspective has much to contribute to contemporary debates stemming from the global "war on terror."
