Abstract:

With the unprecedented speed of diffusion, and with the unimagined persistence in disturbingly challenging human interaction from minute to mega level, the Covid -19 has now become a major preoccupation for experts as well as the lay people everywhere. Coronavirus has not only jeopardized human’s health, but has even more effectively disrupted human lifeworld in a limitless fashion. Simultaneously, it is also a fact that the time interval between pandemics is shortening and the density and destructive power of each new one is increasing. This means that humanity is not threatened only by a particular virus, but it is experiencing the situation of a devastating trend of intensifying pandemics. Obviously, there have been increasing attempts, scientifically and otherwise, to find answers regarding pandemics in general and for Coronavirus in particular. There is also a consensus that Coronavirus comes from wildlife and its threat for humanity is persistent.  But it seems that questions about possible ways and approaches to prevent or to resolve the riddle of pandemics requires something more than what paradigmatically dispersed and discursively confined “knowledge” of present Age can provide. This article is an attempt to encounter this phenomenon from an interdisciplinary standpoint. It is claimed here that all questions, fears, and anxieties regarding “Corona” can be answered if it is recognized that the contemporary Life/World has already been a world - in crisis due to the requirements of technicization the results of which are now fully manifested in apparently intrusive, but world- imbedded - deadly virus.
