Abstract

The new coronavirus did not respect limits on territorial boundaries in the same way that it did not limit itself epistemologically like requiring new efforts from science. Contemporary politics and society, as human experiences, when abysmally distancing themselves from ontological reflection, see their superstructures weakened in the face of a viral pandemic, as they have dedicated themselves to making existence a field of limitation of being in the act and abandonment of importance of intersubjectivity. Resuming language and dialogue as points of reflection in the critical reality that exposes the human hardships deposited in politics constitutes a liberating attitude, insofar as it restores the urgency of community thinking. Along this path, bringing Giorgio Agamben and Martin Buber together in the installation of prolific thinking in the inoperative and intersubjective way of being and acting can offer an alternative to ontology back to the base of political philosophy.
