ANTIHEROÍSMO Y NIHILISMO EN LA OBRA LITERARIA DE ALBERT CAMUS

Abstract

The aim of this work is to analyze from the theoretical and literary work of the French writer Albert Camus (1913-1960), the close relationship between the anti-heroism and the nihilism that is established under characters who, disrupted by transcendence and glory, warn in their taciturn and absurd attitude a threatening nihilism underlying the moral ambiguity that sustains them. In this way, it is intended to show how Camus proposes an original ethical exhortation after the nihilistic component inserted germinally in any action that moves between denial and total affirmation; that is, in the vain and ascetic resignation as in the frenetism by the absolute recomposition of meaning.
