(2012) The originality and complexity of Albert Camus's writings, Basingstoke, Palgrave Macmillan.
This volume was thought of as a sort of homage to Albert Camus after chairing a very interesting panel on the topic. Much has been said and written about Camus. Some criticized his writings, philosophy, or political choices, and others admired his works and contributions to literature and intellectual debates. We find immense value in Camus's legacy. The beauty and interest of Camus's work lies for us in its complexity and originality. It still fascinates some of us today with its richness and the questions it raises. Instead of giving lessons and expressing pessimism about human existence, Camus always valued human liberty and justice, and offered us in many of his articles, discourses, and fictions a deep and tolerant way of analyzing issues, making decisions, and reading the world.
