Résumé
--
"I am one of those who is deeply affected by Pascal, but not converted. Pascal, the greatest among us, yesterday and today." Camus wrote these words in his Carnets. We must live without a God. Can man survive the death of God? Didn't man die with him? These are the questions Camus asks. To identify the inhuman (the absurd, nihilism, resentment, evil), to find the human (rebellion, love) to lay the foundations of a philosophy of man without God: this is Camus' literary and philosophical challenge. To oppose a new kind of wisdom - individual, collective and cosmic - against all that denies, mutilates, and crushes man this was the guiding principal of his work. Tragic lucidity does not exclude the exigency of humanity. Camus wrote these words about The Plague: "The meaning of my novel: So many men are deprived of grace. How can you live without grace? You're obliged to get on with it and do what Christianity never did: look after the damned." It is in this context that Tarrou asks his question, "Can you be a saint without God, that's the only real problem I know today." And the Doctor Rieux replies, "I have no liking for heroism and sainthood. What I'm interested in is being a man."
