Course Description:
What literary and philosophical resources can help us situate ourselves ethically during and after plague time? Returning to Camus' The Plague provides a thoughtful entry to the timeless time of Covid-19. Isabel Wilkerson describes and challenges white supremacy as plague and caste system, both blatant and in its less obvious (to whites) forms. Emmanuel Levinas and Knud Ejler Løgstrup bring us the priority of the other and an ethic of responsibility. Thus we must consider how these plagues challenge our clinical work and our clinical attitudes.
