These two articles, both authored by Greg Twemlow, focus on Albert Camus's 1946 lecture, "The Human Crisis." The first article recounts the historical context of Camus's visit to New York and his powerful speech at Columbia University, highlighting the themes of societal crisis and the importance of human dignity in a post-war world. It also details actor Viggo Mortensen's re-enactment of the lecture in 2016. The second article builds upon these foundational ideas, presenting Camus's philosophy as an antidote to contemporary political challenges, particularly in the context of "Project 2025" politics, by advocating for truth-telling, institutional limits, and solidarity to safeguard democracy. This piece also introduces a "Freedom Not to Lie" Charter, operationalising Camus's principles for practical application in various sectors. Read the article.
