Abstract
[First paragraph]
On 11 December 2007, the fiftieth anniversary of Camus's notorious press conference after winning the Nobel Prize, when the author told students that he would choose his mother before justice, five scholars (Tom Conley, Stanley Hoffman, Jeffrey Mehlman, Hazel Rowley, and Susan Suleiman) gathered at Harvard to discuss and debate before a packed crowd the political, aesthetic, and ethical issues that continue to rise from the "Camus/Sartre" conflict. Avoiding partisanship, Homi Bhaba introduced the conversation with the (self-admittedly) lame pronouncement, "We need them both."
