Well, I was trying to explain the value of being a rebel when we talk about Philosophy.And if Camus said tha the rebel man is a man who says NO...and hat the definition to the rebel... Descartes was a rebel, when he starting to doubt, he was a rebel who wont accept the previous thoughts....Nietszche was a reel who decided to kill God , and let men free.Sartre was the rebel who says that we decide our destiny and define ourselves.Jonics were rebels, who dont accept anymore the Myth explanations of the world....so Philosophy and rebellion are as the same.

Look at the history of the world and you would find all the greatest people as rebels.....All the Holy Prophets of Almighty God revolted against the prevailing rites, customs, norms and laws of their culture and society...Rebels are philosophers and leaders of society.

we rebel against something the moment we have an opinion that is different from what we are told is right. In their most basic forms, philosophy and rebellion are the same. philosophy is the rejection of what is considered correct by a majority. rebels usually have opinions that stray far from the majority's beliefs making them somewhat philosophers. philosophers, though they may not expect to make a change, can cause change. its been done before. probably the biggest connection between rebels and philosophers: they will always speak their minds about what they think is right.

Philosophy is, at it's core (I believe), the rejection of popular belief. It is an act of defiance against a society where people expect others to accept and believe certain things, even though they have no right to expect anything from anyone.
But rebellion is an act intended to make change, whereas philosophy is often a personal belief more than an outward statement. I like your thoughts on it, but I wouldn't be so quick to connect the two as the same.

then again...Voted for by Auxiliar.
then again, where does one place Heidegger? One of the great doubters of all philosophy, one of the most rejecting of Greek and otherwise western inheritances in philosophy sides with the Nazis due to his epistemology of a Truth that he claims doesn't exist.
Where do creativity and imagination, things I believe to occur naturally but unexamined much as dreams, where do these differ from rebellion? Where does Camus himself fall, in supporting the French military presence in Algeria? Outside of Camus, where does originality end and rebellion start? And after everything, what is rebellion worth after these conclusions?
