Abstract

COVID 19, in addition to confronting the world with an unprecedented health crisis, has helped some philosophers including Giorgio Agamben address this crisis from a political and social perspective, analyzing the permanent state of emergency in which we are living. In this article, we try to show the vision of how extreme situations become paradigms of the everyday if we are not able to analyze them in the right way.
