Camus by David Sherman
History (much like his contemporaries) has tended to judge Camus harshly--as mediocre philosopher, conflicted man of the left and, worst of all, apologist for French imperialism. Yet, as David Sherman argues in this rewarding new study, a sensitive reading of the entirety of Camus's writings reveals both a power and unity of philosophical purpose.
"Despite Camus's own reluctance to be regarded as 'a philosopher' and 'an existentialist', David Sherman's authoritative study establishes the importance of Camus's contribution - in his fiction as well as his essays - to existential philosophySherman's Camus is an engaging man of 'decency and courage', and a great writer who eloquently articulated the modern human predicament." Professor David Cooper, Durham University
