Biocosmological Association - Opis:
- On January 2020, the corona virus has spread worldwide. 6.06 million people are affected and about 370,000 died on June 1, 2020. In Japan, a state of emergency was declared, refraining from going out and requests for store closures were implemented. In Japan, more than 17,580 people have been affected and 910 have died. These figures are less than 1.77 million people infected and about 100,000 deaths in the United States but because it is a sensitive feeling that this will increase by tens of thousands in a short period of time, we must be alert. I wrote this paper with caution and for future reflection. Regarding infectious diseases and philosophy, the ‘illness of Athens’ (circa BC430) in “History of the Peloponnesian War” of Thucydides is famous, when Socrates was 40 years old. There are several theories about this infection, but I assume it is Ebola hemorrhagic fever. The tragedy is said to have killed 1,000 of the 4,000 military personnel. The infectious disease and the war continued for about 30 years. As a result, the whole of Greece was scorched, plundered, murder became routine and people encountered despair, darkness and nothingness. At this bottom, the Greeks sought justice, peace, love and human ideals. Then philosophy was established. Before the wonders of nature, humans are powerless and nothing as Pascal also said. Socrates experienced and learned nothingness from this situation in military service, so he seized and explained ignorance. His theory led to Plato, Aristotle and the heyday of Greek philosophy. It continues in the modern times. The tribulation of an infectious disease gave birth to philosophy. The corona virus is also a crisis of the human race in the world, but this is a sign of the emergence of a new philosophy. Or it has begun.
