{"product_id":"rebel-57cvyycw","title":"The Rebel.","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe second of Camus’ principal philosophical works, a sprawling essay on the historical and metaphysical concepts of revolution, violence, and rebellion, forming the theoretical companion to his novel The Plague (1947). In many respects the culmination of Camus’ philosophical thought, The Rebel contains a reaffirmation of the ‘absurd’, as described in The Myth of Sisyphus (1942), shifting focus from physical and spiritual suicide to state-sponsored murder, or ‘logical crime’, in which absurdity reveals itself in the historical struggle between society and rebellion, an ever increasingly desperate process in its inevitable trend towards nihilism. It contains Camus’ complete statement of opposition to Communism and revolutionary Marxism, a thinly veiled critique of Sartre that would become a standard for Cold-War era non-Marxist socialist thought.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRear pastedown booksellers note of Fletchers on Cecil Court dated 1973.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eContents unmarked, light wear to jacket with a few closed tears extremities, heavier toning to panel, notwithstanding a very good copy overall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Maggs Bros.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53634013987125,"sku":"263705","price":450.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/store.maggs.com\/products\/rebel-57cvyycw","provider":"Maggs Bros.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
