Abstract
[Machine translation] In the era of COVID-19 and the environmental crisis, an epidemiologist and a philosopher find themselves at the bedside of a sick world. From their dialogue comes this exciting book that proposes, with a single voice, a new approach to face the challenges of the twenty-first century. The questions range from the doubts of ordinary citizens to the dilemmas of the doctor who works in intensive care or the philosopher who questions the origins of evil: What are the causes of the pandemic? What can politics do for the environment? What is the best criterion for distributing vaccines? Who should take care of first? How to make decisions that combine scientific expertise and democratic participation? Chapter by chapter, a 'global agenda' is outlined that calls into question many of our most deeply held convictions.
