This essay is part of the attempt, announced in other places, to bring the thought of the absurd and the rebellion of the Algerian writer Albert Camus closer to Husserlian phenomenology. As a first and unavoidable step to achieve this rapprochement, a critical review is made of the disqualification that Camus makes of Husserl and of phenomenology in his book The Myth of Sysiphus. Besides questioning the sense and the terms of Camus’ disqualification, and particularly his anachronistic accusation to Husserl of making a “leap” into eternal Reason, it is outlined how can be found in phenomenology —which always was a phenomenology of concrete life—the very “taste for the concrete, the sense of human condition”, that Camus missed in it.Downloads
