Albert Camus in his work "The Rebel" explores the relationship between beauty and revolution. He argues that while beauty alone does not spark revolutions, its role becomes significant in the broader context of human expression and societal change. Revolutions often stem from deep-seated frustrations and desires for freedom, yet they can benefit from an aesthetic dimension that inspires and elevates the human spirit.

Camus suggests that beauty has the power to motivate and unify people during times of upheaval. Its presence can serve as a reminder of what is worth fighting for. Ultimately, he emphasizes that as societies evolve and seek transformation, they will come to recognize the intrinsic value and necessity of beauty in their struggles for justice and change.
