Trata-se de um ensaio teórico que propõe a aproximação entre a psicologia e a Filosofia do Absurdo de Albert Camus. Como condição de possibilidade para essa aproximação, são problematizadas as noções de ética e política, além da materialização dessas duas na noção proposta aqui de dissidenz, isto é, a dissidência propriamente absurda. É apresentada a possibilidade de recolocar como especificidade dessa psicologia não mais suas técnicas, referenciais, conteúdos ou métodos, mas, em lugar disso, priorizar a própria dimensão ética como meio e fim dessa psicologia. Ao invés da pretensão de buscar fundamentos no estreito âmbito da ciência ou mesmo na amplidão da filosofia, sugere-se como possibilidade para essa atuação o ocupar-se com a condução de si diante da condição humana perspectivada desde o absurdo. Para tanto, são propostos fundamentos e pressupostos éticos, políticos, ontológicos e epistemológicos derivados da Filosofia do Absurdo. Essa psicologia – intitulada neste trabalho de Psicologia Absurda – tem seu estatuto deslocado, passando agora a se afirmar como uma práxis filosófica que enseja o cuidado de si e dos outros mediado não mais por regras ou inclinações a priori, mas tão somente pelo poder ser derivado do movimento poético do próprio viver, este potencializado pela absurdidade constitutiva do ethos absurdo desenvolvido aqui. / This is a theoretical essay that proposes the approximation between psychology and philosophy of the Absurd of Albert Camus. As a possible condition for this approach are problematize the notions of ethics and politics, beyond the materialization of these two on the notion proposed here dissidenz, ie properly absurd dissent. It presented the possibility of replacing as specificity of psychology no longer their techniques, references, content or methods, but instead prioritize the very ethical dimension as a means and end of that psychology. Instead of pretense of seeking foundations in the narrow realm of science or even philosophy of spaciousness, it is suggested as a possibility for that role the mind with the driving itself on the human condition envisaged from the absurd. To this end, they propose fundamentals and ethical assumptions, political, ontological and epistemological derivatives Absurd Philosophy. This psychology – titled this work Absurda Psychology – have their displaced status, and will now be stated as a philosophical practice which entails care of themselves and others mediated not by rules or priori inclinations, but only by the power be derived the poetic movement's own life, this powered by the constituent absurdity nonsense ethos developed here.

This thesis examines the treatment of the theme of suffering by three modern authors: Feodor Dostoevsky, Albert Camus, and Milan Kundera. The analysis proceeds through the identification and examination of three primary concepts which I will argue are at the heart of their work, and which provide the conceptual foundations for their depictions of suffering: the wretched, the absurd, and the banal. These concepts will be used as an avenue through which to explore and articulate their treatment of suffering. It will be argued further that the work of these three authors forms a conceptual series, in that each contributes in an important way to the evolution of a modern secular way of thinking about suffering by producing portraits of suffering informed by concepts appropriate to specific moments in the modern era. The sense of wretchedness which emerges from Dostoevsky’s work is inextricably linked with the late nineteenth-century crisis-of-faith. The concept of the absurd ties Camus to the early-twentieth-century existentialist tradition, while the sense of banality in Kundera’s novels locates him in an era which has witnessed both the horrors of World War Two and the decline in the humanist tradition. The factor that unites them and gives order to their differences, however, is a common concern with questions of meaning. The loss of meaning in the modern era, and in particular the loss of meaning in relation to suffering, is a thread which develops progressively throughout the series. It is, as will be argued at the outset, what binds these three disparate authors together and what gives their work and their treatment of suffering a particular modern character. / Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)

Dans une perspective de l'histoire intellectuelle, notre étude traite, par une approche comparative, de l'engagement des écrivains Albert Camus (1913-1960) et George Orwell (1903-1950). Notre recherche vise à mettre l'accent sur la notion de responsabilité dans l'engagement des deux auteurs. Cette dimension, qui est perceptible dans tous les combats dont George Orwell et Albert Camus ont pris part dans la première moitié du 20e siècle, est perçue par nous comme une caractéristique qui ne fut pas partagée par beaucoup d'intellectuels en Europe à la même époque. En situant le parcours des deux auteurs dans le contexte historique de la période européenne s'étalant de l'entre-deux-guerre au début de la guerre froide, nous démontrerons que la pensée et le parcours engagé de Camus et d'Orwell comportent de nombreuses similitudes. Par l'analyse de leurs écrits, essais, articles de journaux et correspondances, qui s'avèrent des témoignages directs de la guerre civile espagnole, de la Deuxième Guerre mondiale ainsi que du début de la guerre froide, notre étude a pour objectif d'établir la concordance de leur engagement. Nous allons également vérifier que leur engagement était de nature socialiste et qu'il se distinguait de la majorité de ceux de leurs contemporains par son caractère antistaliniste. En procédant tout d'abord à l'analyse de leur influence ainsi que de leur expérience respective, nous allons examiner d'une façon théorique leur écrit ainsi que leur critique des idéologies radicales tels l'impérialisme, le fascisme, le nazisme et le stalinisme. Cette approche nous permettra de faire ressortir les valeurs pour lesquelles Camus et Orwell ont combattu tout au long de leur vie. Ces valeurs sont le combat pour la vérité, la lutte pour la sauvegarde de la liberté et la recherche d'une solution socialiste démocratique et non dogmatique. Bien que de nationalité et de culture différente (Camus étant Français et Orwell Britannique), le témoignage engagé et socialiste des deux auteurs est une courageuse démonstration de la survie d'une conscience indépendante et responsable au moment où l'Europe succombe à une « intoxication » idéologique sans précédent. ______________________________________________________________________________ MOTS-CLÉS DE L’AUTEUR : Deuxième Guerre mondiale, Engagement, Europe, Idéologie, Socialisme, Totalitarisme, 20e siècle.
