Abstract

Addressing the post-pandemic situation in order to honor the invitation made to me by the Knowledge Observer magazine, implies looking again at what it has meant to go through this time in terms of understanding and fighting against Covid 19. It is evident that the Covid 19 pandemic, active since 2019 throughout the world, is much more than an epidemiological crisis; it has such a scope that it has shaken all dimensions of social, economic, environmental, political, cultural and spiritual life; in bodies, mind, spirituality and subjectivity. The political, scientific, economic and organizational demands for its containment, cure or control came to reveal great contradictions between individual and collective life, the models of society and the interests that are contained in them, capital and living labor; States and economic groups; peoples and dominant classes; capitalism and nature. It has also shown us the strength and determination of peoples when they act in solidarity and in a sense of preservation of life.
