The work of Albert Camus as a philosopher somewhat closely related to European existentialism has been quite neglected in this country. Camus has disassociated himself from the existentialist movement, and it is not our intention to prove him wrong. In view of the fact, however, that he has an interest in many of the same philosophical issues, and because he frequently seems to state his position, either explicitely or implicitly, in relationship to that of Sartre, it is doubtful if his attempt to disassociate himself will succeed. There is little doubt, however, that his thought is to be clearly distinguished from that of Sartre, and if the term "existentialism" is defined so as to become nearly identical with Sartre's philosophy, as sometimes seems to be the case, then no doubt Camus' protest is valid.
