Abstract

This essay aims at analyzing the current situation of confinement imposed by the Covid-19 pandemic from the Heideggerian concepts of technic, every day, and care. We defend that the isolation offers the material conditions to more people pay attention to themselves and take care of themselves, resulting in letting-be the freedom of oneself and of the other. Therefore, we face the possibilities which we are as such, especially our being-toward-Death.
