It shows to what extent morality is a arbitrary and a construct.

In the ilght of post-modernism, it isn't as ground-breaking as it was back in the day (of modernism).

It's well-written enough that you can enjoy it without foregrounding the philosophy though.

Colin Wilson > Albert Camus

This one's a bad translation. Reread the one titled "The Stranger"

That's what I thought too, judging the translation by its title. But read them both and you'll see the difference.
