AESTHETICS AND ETHICS AS FORMATION: THE REFUSAL OF PHILOSOPHICAL-PEDAGOGICAL SUICIDE IN CAMUS

Abstract

The scope of this article is to present and discuss the implicit imbrication between the aesthetic and the formative from the literary work of the Algerian Albert Camus. To this end, we dialogue with the writings and poetics of the novelist and playwright, especially those from the first phase of his production from the thirties of the twentieth century to the time of the Myth of Sisyphus and the Stranger, in the forties, a period in which absurdity and suicide are put as a reflection. Thus, within a theoretical and speculative bias, we intend to place the issue of education within the horizon of the ethos of the absurd, which is that of refusal to suicide and the affirmation of individuality and free thought.
