cant help it but i do not find Chafe’s comments too interesting or enlightening. To me he tries to sound more knowledgeable here than he really is.

Ivo Plsek In Defence of Professor Chafe On the contrary, I thought that the learned man answered each question put forth with precision, intelligence and relevance; both eloquent and thoughtful in his responses. Not once did I sense the slightest suggestion of a pedantic bearing or scholastic arrogance; pray, enlighten me of any such instance by alluding to the actual moment/s if I had missed missed these. Ironically, on two ocassions, he acknowledged his shortcomings as a literary expert. Professor Chafe is, in the final analysis, an distinguished and internationally respected scholar whose admirable attribute, among other things, is his enduring humility.

I look at The Plague essentially as a prayer.... prayer for collective action in the face of overwhelming tragedy/ calamity. There is no short cut... except confronting it... Struggle..The Dr. Reus shows the way... and Tarrou joins him in this struggle.

I do not believe "community of faith" is an accurate description. Camus prizes sacrifice as the highest moral Principle. In some of his writings he uses the term sacred. Obviously the same root as sacrifice. It shows that 1 can be courageous without a deity or a transcendent power. It shows the courage and strength of a mature human being. Faith and believe usually point to constructs that are stories. But human action is real and can be seem, objectively. Albert Camus believes in the power and strength of humanity. It says to me that we underestimate ourselves. It also implies that we give too much power, or turn over our power to a dream called God.

I'm currently reading "The Plague" and curious why Camus give the date of the story's setting as, 194-. Why doesn't he cite a year?

@@soslothful it is odd indeed. Don't know if I've seen it elsewhere. Still, war was fairly absent - no talk of soldiers, campaign, widows, changes in supply lines, etc. Much odd in this novel, but I love it! Just finished for a book club.

@@taylorlayton5095 It is indeed a good novel, especially for all that is going on currently. I wonder if not specifying the year is a literary convention of the time the novel was written. Much like the convention of using, "one." As is a sentence like, One John Doe. Where "one " just designates an individual.
