Create Dangerously: The Power and Responsibility of the Artist - Paperback

Camus on the artist's obligation to speak truth, even (especially) when it costs. A lecture delivered at Uppsala University in 1957, when he was already estranged from the Left.

This short work captures Camus at a philosophical turning point. He argues that the artist cannot hide behind ideology or compromise. Creation demands honesty about what we see and what we cannot say. It's a manifesto for intellectual integrity.

Writers, philosophers, and anyone thinking about creative responsibility return to this. It's assigned in courses on existentialism, literary ethics, and the public intellectual's role.
