CAMDEN — The Camden Philosophical Society is sponsoring a talk and open discussion on Tuesday, Sept. 19, at 6 p.m., in the Picker Room of the Camden Public Library about mid-20th Century French philosopher, author and activist Albert Camus.

Professor Emeritus and Midcoast Maine resident Ray Boisvert, author of Albert Camus and the Philosophy of the Ordinary, will discuss Camus and his attempt to move beyond the nihilism he saw as characteristic of his age.

All are welcome to attend. No expertise in philosophy is required, only interest in thinking and learning.

It holds hybrid meetings, in-person at the Camden Public Library and on Zoom, from 3:30-5:30 p.m., on the third Tuesday of each month.
