Albert Camus: "#Wahrheit statt #Hoffnung

Subtitel: Albert Camus warnte davor, sich angesichts einer politisch sowie existenziell düsteren Gegenwart auf das Hoffen zu besinnen. Wahrer Fortschritt, so argumentierte er, finde sich nur abseits der Hoffnung. Die bisher in Deutschland unveröffentlichten Jugendschriften bieten nun neue Einblicke in das Denken des französisch-algerischen Philosophen.

[...] "Allzu oft orientieren wir uns an einem Fortschrittsglauben, den #Camus als #Illusion von Träumern entlarvt. Fortschrittsdenken zeigt sich ebenso gegenwartsvergessen wie Hoffnung. Fortschritte der Zivilisation sind dem jungen Camus nicht radikal genug – die gegenwärtige Zivilisation scheint ihm nicht fortschrittsfähig in einem gehaltvollen Sinn. Camus nimmt offenbar den #Fortschritt beim Wort und wendet sich gegen das Fortschreiten mit seinem „Weiter so“. Er stellt uns die Aufgabe, Fortschritts- durch Wahrheitsorientierung zu ersetzen."

卡謬名著「瘟疫」其中一個場景，
是主角們聚在房裡喝酒解悶：「這張唱片挺感傷，」
藍柏說：「今天我已經聽了十遍了。」

I wonder if anyone else here has read Albert Camus' 'The Rebel' recently?

It's interesting. It is very clearly of it's time - a polemic within the debates that consumed the French left after the war, about how to react to the emerging picture of Stalinist repression - but what's interesting is just how old-fashioned it seems alongside more recent economic and cultural interpretations of Marx.

Camus critiques Marx principally for what he took from Hegel - for example the idea of a historical dialectic - rightly focusing on how teleological philosophies always contain the seeds of 'the ends justify the means' rationale for inhumanity. In taking this approach, he ignores almost entirely the economic and cultural analysis of the mature Marx, which via the Frankfurt School, Structuralism, Piketty, etc, now dominate left views of Marx. Camus spends many pages pulling apart the idea of the historic mission of the proletariat, for example, without any mention of the increasing socialisation of production - or indeed any of the economic concepts, such as alienation, commodity fetishism, even use, exchange and surplus value, that now seem central to us.

Most interestingly, perhaps, he focuses on Marx's 'prophesies' in a way that now feels outdated, not just because they constitute such a very small part of Marx's writing - but by events. Camus writes as if his own time was the end of history, which had already delivered its verdict - whereas from our perspective it has become much harder to pronounce on whether trends within capitalism identified by Marx - such as increasing accumulation by a smaller and smaller elite - were indeed mistaken. Now we tend to think: 'Hmmm... maybe he was right after all...'.

At the time I would I'm sure have been on Camus' side - like Orwell inclined more to anarchism that communism - but now perhaps Sartre's inclination not to polemic, but to reconcile existentialism and marxism, seems more considered.

danke für den wunderbaren Workshop in der Summer-School in Bonn zum pluriversen Umgang mit den alten fragen der #Kolonisierung unseres Denkens, vor allem auch in den #Wissenschaften, mit Beiträgen aus Ghana und vielen weiteren Ländern: #PauloFreire und #AugustoBoal als südliche Beitragende bauen Brücken für methodisch gelungene #Dialoge, die unsere Vielfalt bestehen lassen und feiern:

Ob wir es #Pluriversum oder #Multiversum (Astronomisch) nennen, von #Camus bis heute reichten die Ideen ...

It really is all about recognising and acknowledging the absurdity in every day #softwareengineering life.

Camus (1953): "... if freedom had only ever had governments to guard its growth, it is likely that it would still be its infancy, or definitively buried with the inscription “an angel in heaven”."

Wusstet ihr, dass es in #Düsseldorf auch 1965 noch eine öffentliche #Bücherverbrennung gab?
Jugendliche Angehörige des 'Bundes entschiedener Christen' verbrannten mit behördlicher und polizeilicher Genehmigung am Rheinufer Bücher von z.B. #Sartre, #Camus, #Grass und #Kästner, weil diese Werke eine schlechte Wirkung auf sie gehabt hätten.
Nicht Goebbels, sondern der Apostel Paulus habe sie inspiriert.
1965. Mit behördlicher Genehmigung.

> Not only did he admire the painters of the early Renaissance, he applied serious analysis of his own to their techniques, observing about the Siennese and Florentine Primitives: “Their insistence on making monuments smaller than men is a result not of an ignorance of the laws of perspective but of a persistence in giving importance to the men and saints whom they depict.”
