Albert Camus on Revolution - Dictionary of Arguments

Brocker I 324
Revolution/Camus: Camus draws a concept of revolt out of the early philosophy of resistance against National Socialism (1), which says goodbye to the dream of the great revolution, but in no way doubts the meaning of a revolt against unjust conditions, on the contrary finds the origin of ethics in it. Camus thus anticipates the various emancipation and civil movements of the second half of the 20th century (2).
Revolt/Camus: Revolt had always been open to people, but it could only be used since early modern times (...).
Revolution/Camus: it was a depraved revolt.
Brocker I 325
Schönherr-Mann: the title L'Homme révolté should be actively translated as "The Inflammatory Man".
Brocker I 327
Examples of revolts for Camus are the deeds of Prometheus, Cain and Jesus.
Brocker I 328
Modernism/Camus: The revolt against religion is for Camus a rebellion against an unjust world.
