Albert Camus was one of the most influential literary figures of the 20th century, gaining recognition for works such as The Stranger, Caligula andThe Plague. Camus' writings raise and address ethical and political questions that resonate strongly with current concerns and debates in educational theory, and the difficulties and dilemmas faced by his characters mirror those encountered by many teachers in school classrooms. This book will appeal to all who wish to consider the connections between education, ethics and the problem of human existence. This book was originally published as a special issue of Educational Philosophy & Theory.
