Book Review

«The Rebel» by Albert Camus is a philosophical essay in which the author explores the nature and consequences of rebellion. Camus views rebellion as a fundamental trait of human existence, contrasting it with religious and political ideologies. Critics note that Camus masterfully analyzes the historical and philosophical aspects of rebellion, from the mythological Prometheus to the revolutions of the 20th century. The book raises questions about the meaning of life, freedom, and justice, making it relevant even today. Some critics point out the complexity and multilayered nature of the text, requiring careful and thoughtful reading. Overall, «The Rebel» is considered an important contribution to existential philosophy and a continuation of the ideas presented in Camus's previous works.
