Albert Camus on Sense - Dictionary of Arguments

Brocker I 327
Sense/Camus: Camus prolongs Descartes' methodical doubt, which raises doubts not only about the knowledge but also about the meaningfulness of the world: "The revolt germinates at the sight of unreason, before an unjust and incomprehensible life"(1).
>R. Descartes
.
Brocker I 329
For Camus, the meaning of revolt does not come from a world view propagated by revolts, from an ideology, but from their hopes and dreams in the face of an unjust world. (2)
>Injustice.
