This week we will be talking about The Plague by Albert Camus. Not surprisingly, this book, which was written 70 years ago, demonstrates that human beings tend to have the same uneasiness, ugliness, problems, and reactions under extreme conditions. We will connect how people react to cholera years ago with how people react to COVID in the current time. The interpretation of the color, phrasing, and narrative methods of the book and the break-down of Albert Camus’s Absurdism theory lead to a thought-process - “there is but one truly serious philosophical problem and that is suicide...Judging whether life is or is not worth living, that is the fundamental question of philosophy.”
