Camus's attack on crimes committed in the name of rebellion received negative reviews, and he was further accused of defending freedom in a simplistic way, prioritizing the individual. Thus, for several decades, the complexity of his thought was reduced to a right-wing thesis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Stalin was still alive, and many people were beginning to disagree with the Communist Party, but despite this, Camus could not be forgiven for criticizing violence and totalitarianism from both the right and the left.

The following year, Camus was recognized by the Swedish Academy and received the Nobel Prize for Literature. Still, his ideas were never \"rehabilitated\" by those who attacked them. An ambitious book that is perhaps one of the most emphatic and passionate anti-authoritarian libels ever written, \u003cem\u003eThe Rebel\u003c\/em\u003e continued to be treated with the coldness and complacency it so vehemently criticizes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eMore than 50 years after its first publication, with humanity's ideological disputes and existential questions radically shifted from their axis, the book acquires a special dimension.

After the killer's beheading, considered by many to be too lenient a punishment for his crimes, he returns home in shock, in complete silence, feeling ill and vomiting. How can this \"justice\" leave a man in this state? asks the Algerian author. What's wrong with this sentence?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eThis is the starting point of \u003cem\u003eReflections on the Guillotine\u003c\/em\u003e , an essay in which Camus, one of the most important thinkers of the 20th century, discusses the death penalty, especially death by guillotine. To this end, he criticizes any argument in favor of capital punishment. For Camus, in a desacralized society, there can be no definitive punishment. While for the Catholic Church, the death penalty is not the end—after all, it is provisional: the condemned is removed from society, but with a chance of redemption in the afterlife—in our society, capital punishment is, indeed, definitive. It is an assertion that someone is absolutely evil while society is absolutely good, and it places the judge in the place of God.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eFurthermore, Camus argues that, to believe that death by guillotine would be exemplary, one would have to start from the assumption that the death of a criminal convicted in a judicial process, subject to flaws, would prevent crimes that might otherwise never have been committed. In other words, a person is killed for the sake of a hypothesis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Camus sees the death penalty as nothing more than a societal law of retaliation—an \"eye for an eye.\" And he sees a contradiction in it: how can a law respond to a natural instinct when the role of legislation is precisely to inhibit humanity's most animalistic impulses? In his analysis, the State and society, more than accomplices, are responsible for these deaths; the State kills the individual condemned to death twice: once when it condemns him and makes him live with the expectation of the end; again when it actually ends his life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eThe last death by guillotine in France occurred in the 20th century, in 1977.
