Homo pandemicus. Vogliamo davvero rinunciare alla nostra umanità?

What we have experienced in these two years has historic significance, but we would be wrong if we summarized everything in a single health event. It is not medicine that best explains the events we have witnessed: it is the health problems that have captured our emotions, but there are scenes left in the shadows that prove fundamental to understanding the situation as a whole. What are the processes that transformed a health emergency into a democratic emergency? The book Homo pandemicus starts from the health evidence to grasp its fundamental elements, with the aim of dispelling the information smoke, often artfully created, that has enveloped it in recent months. It does so based on the numerous data available today. The author Alessandro Bagnato undertakes a courageous journey, accompanied by scientific, legal, philosophical and anthropological reflections around that homo pandemicus who seems to have appeared in history and which could mark a detachment from our humanity.
