Epidemics and Pandemics (Hardcover)
Language: English
Published by Brepols N.V., Turnhout, 2024
ISBN 10: 2503598927 ISBN 13: 9782503598925
Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Epidemics, pandemics, contagion, immunity, social distance, zoonosis are just a few of the concepts that have become commonplace in the academic community and in everyday conversation since the outbreak of the Covid-19. This book aims to provide the reader with a philosophical guide to this conceptual vocabulary by investigating the meanings, implications, and history of words related to the current emergency of Covid-19. This book addresses the fundamental anthropological, ethical, and political issues that have come under the spotlight of the public debate (life and death, freedom and authority, fear and protection, poverty and access to medical care). In this context, particular attention is given to the conflict between the scientific discourse on the one hand, and irrational bias, misinformation and fake news on the other. The SARS-CoV-2 outbreak is only the latest episode in a long history of pandemics and epidemics that have constellated human history since its very beginning. Authoritative accounts have made some of these contagious plagues famous (Thucydides' pages immortalizing the Athenian epidemic of the 5th century B.C.; Boccaccio's description of the Black Death; Manzoni's depiction of the Plague ravaging 17th-century Milan). Because a full understanding of the present is not possible without historical inquiry, several contributions in the book explore debates about calamitous phenomena as documented in philosophical literature from Antiquity to 20th-century philosophy. This book is a multidisciplinary study of the history and vocabulary of epidemics and pandemics. It will provide the reader with philosophical tools to grasp the meaning and significance of the covid-19 crisis and future ones. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
