Reading the essays published in Resistance, Rebellion, and Death by Albert Camus reminded me how much ground U.S. society has ceded in my lifetime to antisocial beliefs and normalized insults to human dignity. The book challenged and refreshed my thinking and sleeping values, inspiring me to try harder to advance civilization within myself and in my community, even if only in small ways. In these difficult times, I found it a helpful read.

Camus et l’absurde : une philosophie de la révolte et de l’affirmation
Albert Camus explore l'absurde, né du choc entre notre quête de sens et l'indifférence du monde. Face à ce dilemme, il rejette le suicide et l'évasion, prônant la révolte lucide et l'affirmation de la vie. Une philosophie qui invite à embrasser l'existence dans toute son intensité, malgré - ou grâce à - sa nature absurde. #Camus #Philosophie #Absurde Albert Camus : L'absurde comme tremplin vers…

𓅮𓅱𓏏𓏭𓏖𓏞 In my free time I therefore read about #politics, #language & #religion but also enjoy #horror, mostly the supernatural kind.
I've written two 150k word "books" so far but never got to edit them up to any publishable standard.
It's going to be a 6-7 volume science-phantasy series, so I'm also heavily into #worldbuilding.
( #Δꙮ unrelated )
I try to get into #philosophy but have barely read any actual primary writings outside #Plato & #Camus (yes, I know) in full.

@smellsofbikes I agree. My career was in Pharma and Biotech. Unfortunately, I believe we need a #HotStoveProblem. We have come to a point where an event so sever and damaging must occur where even the oligarchy that is driving the US and much of the world must suffer. We need #Camus. We need #ThePlague. https://youtu.be/vSYPwX4NPg4

Aaand finished. What an exquisite work! The outdated style glimmers with elegance. Give it a go; you'll be glad if you hang in there! Weird (and essay-worthy) to alternate between it and a paper about #Camus's constructions of #mortality in The Outsider. MAN did I miss some biiig stuff in that tiny high school #textbook when I was a teenager!

Tout est en place: l’arsenal législatif, le fonctionnement institutionnel, l’habitude de l’obéissance, la surveillance globale, le racisme intrinsèque.
Caligula est déjà à l’Elysée; ses troupes s’apprêtent à envahir l’Assemblée. Chez #Camus, l’empereur fou assume: il me faut des coupables. Et ils le sont tous.

Was de bekende filosoof en Nobelprijswinnaar Albert Camus een centrist die een hekel had aan mensen die opkomen tegen discriminatie?
Nee, eerder het tegendeel. Maar Bas Heijne herschrijft de geschiedenis graag.
In de @nrc_nl krijgt Heijne dit weekend een groot artikel waarin hij mag vertellen over zijn liefde voor Albert #Camus.
En dat artikel is slecht genoeg om een draadje aan te spenderen 
NRCDe urgentie van het morele humanisme van Albert CamusAlbert Camus: De laatste tijd verschijnt de ene na de andere vertaling van zijn werk. Nu is er het laatste deel van zijn ‘logboek’. Bas Heijne over de blijvende actualiteit van een groot schrijver in een tijd waarin ontmenselijking om zich heen grijpt.
