BARRIA-ASENJO, Nicol A.; ŽIžEK, Slavoj; MONTES-MONTOYA, Angélica e SALAS, Gonzalo. Why the Pandemic Matters for Philosophy. Why Philosophy Matters for the Pandemic. discus.filos [online]. 2021, vol.22, n.38, pp.15-30. Epub 27-Jan-2022. ISSN 0124-6127. https://doi.org/10.17151/difil.2021.22.38.2.
Our common sense reaction to “pandemic and philosophy” is that we are in a medical emergency when we have to act decisively and not lose time in philo-sophical ruminations. But what if the tremendous impact of the pandemic on our economy, relations of domination, neocolonial divisions, and our mental health requires precisely a philosophical approach? To understand how the pandemic perturbed our ordinary daily lives, we need to reflect on what it means to be hu-man today, on the customs and rituals that make us “normal” human beings, on the need to invent new normality. The text deals with these basic questions through a critical overview of the existing literature on the current pandemic.
