This book asks what we can learn  from COVID-19, both as individuals and collectively as a society.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWritten during the first and second lockdowns, \u003ci\u003eEverything must change\u003c\/i\u003e  offers philosophical perspectives on some of the most pressing issues  raised by the pandemic. It argues that the pandemic is not a misfortune  but an injustice; that it has exposed our society's inadequate treatment  of its most vulnerable members; that populist ideologies of post-truth  are dangerous and potentially disastrous. In considering these issues  and more, the book draws on a diverse range of philosophers, from  Cicero, Hobbes and Arendt to prominent contemporary thinkers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt  the heart of the book is a simple argument: politics can be the  difference between life and death. With careful reflection we can avoid  knee-jerk decision making and ensure that the right lessons are learned,  so that this crisis ultimately changes our lives for the better,  ushering in a society that is both more compassionate and more just.","brand":"Bufacchi, Vittorio","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":44621658325282,"sku":"9781526158772","price":19.6,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4001\/6057\/files\/bufacchi-vittorio-vittorio-bufacchi-everything-must-change-2021-hardback-9781526158772-60590468268371.jpg?v=1735713303","url":"https:\/\/chaptersbookstore.pro\/products\/everything-must-change-philosophical-lessons-from-lockdown","provider":"Chapters Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
