Abstract

The article explores the role that Max Scheler’s emotional phenomenology plays in the genesis of Albert Camus’ pensee de Midi by reading L’Homme revolte (1951) in the light of the French writer’s intense intellectual dialogue with the German phenomenologist’s writings on love and its perversions, in particular L’Homme du ressentiment and Nature et formes de la sympathie. Imbued with Nietzsche’s project of a transvaluation of all values, Camus develops a personal phenomenology of revolt and, investigating its relationship with resentment, he traces in the peculiar loving attitude of the rebel the way out of contemporary nihilism.
