It argues that, while not an academic philosopher, Albert Camus was a \u003ci\u003ephilosophe\u003c\/i\u003e in more profound senses looking back to classical precedents, and the engaged French \u003ci\u003elumières\u003c\/i\u003e of the 18th century. Aiming his essays and literary writings at the wider reading public, Camus' criticism of the forms of 'political theology' enshrined in fascist and Stalinist regimes singles him out markedly from more recent theological and messianic turns in French thought. His defense of classical thought, turning around the notions of natural beauty, a limit, and \u003ci\u003emesure\u003c\/i\u003e makes him a singularly relevant figure given today's continuing debates about climate change, as well as the way forward for the post-Marxian Left.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDr Matthew Sharpe\u003c\/b\u003e teaches philosophy at Deakin University.
