The Relevance of "La Chute" in the Development of Camus's Religious and Philosophical Thought
Abstract
Beginning with a discussion of his major works before
La Chute, I will trace the development of his philosophy
towards life and religion. Then the relevance of La Chute
to this philosophy will be considered. Does La Chute represent
a drastic change in Camus's religious philosophy
leading towards either a conversion or the damnation of
mankind? Or has his philosophy not really changed so much
after all? With a general understanding of Camus's philosophy
from his preceding works, we will be better able to
consider these questions.
