{"product_id":"albert-camus-and-the-philosophy-raymond-d-boisvert-9781350347915","title":"Albert Camus and the Philosophy of the Ordinary","description":"The standard interpretation keeps repeating that Camus is the prototypical \"absurdist\" thinker. Such a reading freezes Camus at the stage at which he wrote \u003ci\u003eThe Stranger \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eThe Myth of Sisyphus.\u003c\/i\u003e By taking seriously how (1) Camus was always searching and (2) the rest of his corpus, \u003ci\u003eAlbert Camus and the Philosophy of the Ordinary \u003c\/i\u003ecorrects the one-sided, and thus faulty, depiction of Camus as committed to a philosophy of absurdism. His guiding project, which he explicitly acknowledged, was an attempt to get beyond nihilism, the general dismissal of value and meaning in ordinary life. Tracing this project via Camus's works, \u003ci\u003eAlbert Camus and the Philosophy of the Ordinary\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003e, \u003c\/i\u003e offers a new lens for thinking about the well-known author.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Raymond D.
