Abstract

The words written in this essay correspond to the topics used in the last chapter author’s doctoral thesis with the title of “Ph.D. in philosophic sciences” in La Habana University. Framed in the field of histography of philosophy and using hermeneutics, the philosophy of Albert Camus was analyzed. His thesis guidelines on his “life's philosophy” were identified, and it was demonstrated that his philosophy was enrolled in the right path of the philosophic ideal, ripping apart the theoretical speech of the post-antique philosophy, particularly in the 19th century French-Germanic philosophy. Camus’s philosophy was constituted like a representative affair on the philosophic tradition that considered philosophy as a practice to transform ourselves and other's lifestyle, and which purpose was for the person to overcome itself, for him to build a new way of to-be-in-the-world and to take consciousness of himself as an integral part of nature.
