The Rebel

Methodology and Conclusions

In «The Rebel», Albert Camus employs philosophical and historical analysis to explore the nature of rebellion and revolution. Camus's methodology includes examining various historical examples and philosophical concepts, from mythological and religious sources to contemporary political movements. He analyzes figures and ideas such as Prometheus, Satan, Marxism, nihilism, and existentialism to understand how and why people rise against the existing order. Camus's main conclusion is that rebellion is an integral part of human existence and the pursuit of justice, but he also warns that rebellion can lead to tyranny and violence if not constrained by moral principles. Camus asserts that true rebellion should be based on respect for human dignity and the pursuit of freedom, rather than destruction and hatred.
