| Abstract
|
:
|
"Robert Solomon makes the case that - despite their very different responses to the political questions of their day - Camus and Sartre were both fundamentally moralists, and their philosophies cannot be understood apart from their deep ethical commitments. He focuses on Sartre's early, pre-1950 work and on Camus' best-known novels The Stranger, The Plague, and The Fall. Throughout, Solomon makes the point that their shared interest in phenomenology was much more important than their supposed affiliation with "existentialism." Solomon's reappraisal will be of interest to anyone who is or ever has been fascinated by these eccentric but monumental figures."--Jacket.
