Albert Camus, aesthetics, politicsAbstract
Albert Camus's thought is in favor of a philosophical place that assumes the transformative potential of aesthetic experience, supposing a refusal (and not an escape) from absurd reality and its consequent consent, as an attitude that provokes reconciliation between thinking and human action as necessary structures for the reconstruction of reality. In this work, we present the trajectories from which Camus's philosophy rescued the value of aesthetics as a category linked to a political status, providing a new way of interpreting reality. From this, we face how the French-Algerian author's philosophy faced the rapprochement between aesthetic experience, human action and the political issues of his time.
