Rebel against nonsense, or Camus’ answer to requests of mass society JF - Philological Treatises JA - PT VL - 8 IS - 1 SE - Articles DO - UR - https://tractatus.sumdu.edu.ua/index.php/journal/article/view/246 SP - 150-162 AB - <p>A. Camus defined a social crisis in journalism ("Myth of Sisyphus", "Rebellious people") by the concept of an<br>absurd. In his artistic works ("The Plague") he symbolized it in the form of epidemic infectious disease. He<br>understood a crisis as a human helplessness before an onslaught of mass public events, an inability to understand<br>and manage. The writer subdivided people into two categories: the executioners and the victims. But salvation will<br>come from the people, "the third category", which will raise a rebellion in defense of the underprivileged. On<br>Camus’ opinion, riot is opposed the revolution. Revolution breaks; riot creates. Riot is based on the principles of<br>solidarity, dialogue, freedom and happiness. Executioners and victims are the exceptions, the insurgents are the<br>rule. When exceptions will die out the rule will be realized and the rebels will take place in the community center.<br>A rebel can become anyone who awakened the conscience, consciousness. The awakening of consciousness takes<br>place according to the rule: "One day, I thought". Individuals, prone to rebellion and saving humanity from the<br>coming crisis, always appear in society.</p> ER -
