In 1951, Albert Camus published his book-length essay “The Rebel,” which helped establish two of his key philosophical ideas: the concept of the absurd and the notion of revolt. For Camus, revolt, or revolution, was fundamentally a heroic act of defiance or resistance against anything that sought to oppress human beings. A rebel, by their very nature, was someone fighting in the moment for a better future. Camus considered this a truly noble act. “He who dedicates himself… to the dignity of mankind,” he wrote, “dedicates himself to the earth and reaps from it the harvest that sows its seed and sustains the world again and again.”
