About the Book

What does it mean to be in the middle of a pandemic--for us, for our country, or for the world? How do our current inequalities and injustices become amplified by the demands of the pandemic and what, if anything, can be done? Who is most impacted--and why does it seem that so many of the same people are, once again, deemed expendable and "less-than"? How do we explain COVID-19 and its attendant traumas to our children, and what do we teach them about hope, justice, grief, and the role of imagination in survival? And once the worst has passed, how do we start again, and what should we care about as we contemplate individual and collective repair? In this collection of public and political philosophy, philosophers come together to address these and other questions born of a devastating pandemic to which they are neither objective spectators nor external observers insulated by the passage of time. The contributors to this volume are both grounded in, and immediately affected by, their own lived realities as source material for the questions that move and motivate them. Contributors: Alexios Alexander, J. S. Biehl, Eyja M. Brynjarsdóttir, Daniel Conway, Barrett Emerick, Anna Gotlib, Ruth Groenhout, Claire Katz, Eva Feder Kittay, Corey McCall, Jamie Lindemann Nelson, Jennifer Scuro, Kevin Timpe, Vanessa Wills

Review :
This collection of essays written amid the coronavirus pandemic is a fine example of what public philosophy can be. Social presuppositions are excavated, conversations begun in classrooms extend beyond them, and the contributors' varied personal experiences do not replace but inform the mournful, hopeful, and bracing philosophical and political reflections they offer us. --Ben Almassi, professor of philosophy, Governors State University As philosophers interested in figuring out how philosophy can contribute to public debates and pressing social issues, we are thrilled to see this insightful and timely book. We highly recommend it to anyone who wants to better understand what we've been going through. --Ramona Ilea and Monica Greenwell Janzen, founders of EngagedPhilosophy.com
