Abstract

This essay approaches the contributions of the franco algerian writer Albert Camus to psychology. From the notions of Absurdity and Revolt proposes thinking the possibility of setting up a psychology as a philosophical practice that supports ethics occupation as their specificity. It suggests that the commitment of this absurd ethos is to the poetic dynamics of living. Less than techniques, methods or the theoretical frame of references, this psychology would favor a creative praxis. It's commitment would be to live and 'do the living' in new openings and existential displacements, those always renewed by the intensification of productive silence of the radical absurdity of this ethos.
