Good News!
A new book on Camus has been released ! The title is Camus' Literary Ethics by Grace Whistler. This text has great promise as it covers an important area in Camus studies and also illuminates a blind-spot in the conversation about Camus. And, I have more good news. Click HERE and you can read a chapter for free to test drive the book.
Here is an abstract of the free chapter of the book linked above to give you a feel for the content:
This chapter outlines Camus’ critique of abstract moral reasoning and the steps he undertook as a writer to construct an alternative method. Like any writer, he struggled with the development of his own style, but here I suggest that this was driven by the desire to forge new ways of doing philosophy and to develop philosophical form which was not only appropriate but also in some ways indivisible from its ethical content. I suggest that Camus wants to achieve a style of philosophical writing which does justice to the messiness of morality, brings about an intersubjective experience of the Other, and enables us to reflect on our own moral convictions
Enjoy!
