conorpittman's review against another edition
3.0
If I could I would give it 3.5 stars. It’s an okay philosophy book, and I believe the second half is much better than the first. I think Camus’ treatment of Nietzsche and Hegel is lacking (and downright incorrect when it comes to Nietzsche this can be explained by Camus seemingly deriving most of his Nietzschean philosophy from the Will to Power). Overall, I think his treatment of Marx and authoritarian Marxist interpretation is more consistent and shows valid criticisms. I would say it’s overall a worthwhile read to understand Camus’ philosophy.

“Whatever we may do, excess will always keep its place in the heart of man, in the place where solitude is found. We all carry within us our places of exile, our crimes and our ravages. But our task is not to unleash them on the world; it is to fight them in ourselves and in others.”
Albert Camus is so metal.
