A. Camus, Dżuma - 1 - ABSURD ŻYCIA I ŚMIERCI W CZASACH ZARAZY

What might a philosopher be reading today, during this great national quarantine? He's reading Albert Camus's "The Plague"— "La peste" in French. The first question: what is the plague? What is the coronavirus (COVID-19)? Perhaps we won't like Albert Camus's answers ? Perhaps we are not ready to accept them? Perhaps so many years have passed, a generation has died out, and his answers are outdated? Let's see if this is true. What is the plague according to Albert Camus? The plague is, above all, absurd, "The plague is life, that's all"... Foto: Medieval doctor’s mask. See: PL - Albert Camus, Dżuma, przekład Joanna Guze, KOLEKCJA GAZETY WYBORCZEJ.
