This is a video in my new Core Concepts series -- designed to provide students and lifelong learners a brief discussion focused on one main concept from a classic philosophical text and thinker.
This Core Concept video focuses on Albert Camus' early work, The Myth of Sisyphus, and specifically on the section "Ephemeral Creation" in the third part of work. Camus discusses the possibility of an "ascesis" of he absurd that would remain true to it despite our tendency to succumb to hope. He discusses how this would work for the creative novelist, and the tole that revolt, freedom, and diversity play

This section really speaks of why I liked philosophical novels in the first place. I think people seem to misconstrue, as I have in the past, the idea of "revolt" as a revolt against authority or tradition. But Camus brings out a very important sort of revolt, as you have lectured here.
"Not the divine fable that amuses and blinds, but the terrestrial face, gesture, and drama in which are summed up a difficult wisdom and an ephemeral passion."

Yes, his notion of revolt can take many forms
