GARCIA AGUILAR, Juan Francisco. Camus, Freedom as Limit and Affirmation of the Self. Valenciana [online]. 2024, vol.17, n.33, pp.87-112.  Epub May 31, 2024. ISSN 2007-2538.  https://doi.org/10.15174/rv.v16i33.726.

Self-realization represents a commitment that challenges our own human identity. The richness and heterogeneity of the voices that speak of how to respond to it demand a measured deliberation. In this sense, it is notorious that, for some, this endeavor involves a high intersubjective cost that we are eventually forced to pay. On the other hand, for others, is urgent to establish a limit to such price in order precisely to safeguard the self. Faced with this scene, we will go to the reflective proposal that Albert Camus has, because it offers us a sensible examination that seeks a balance between what the conduct of the existence implies and what we can outline as a shared realization.
