Camus et sa politique du réel : une pensée pour l’Algérie

Abstract

"Too aware of the state of the world", Albert Camus, thinker, writer and citizen always fought to eradicate famine, great injustices and social prejudice in Argelia. However, to achieve those goals, as he himself points out, not all means are acceptable, since crime against innocent people will never be justified by its ends, regardless of how noble or how fair they may be. Born in the midst of Argiels’ poverty, there he discovered the value of human solidarity. Angry, he reacted against the condition of his Argelian people as a writer and active citizen. Not only did he speak against precarious working conditions, "the exploitation of others’ misery", but also against the lack of schools which cater for those most in need, committing himself to looking for real solutions, through simple and reasonable actions.
