Abstract
I have written, we have all more or less written, that the amazing return to Camus that we are witnessing signals a refusal of history. It is also at least partially an unwillingness to take refuge simply in transcendence and a sort of active moral consent to rebellion and to happiness. Everything has indeed been said on this theme, but I would like to make two preliminary observations which will help me to give you the latest stage in my own, obviously subjective, view of Camus.
