Abstract

This article seeks to extract some consequences of the covid-19 pandemic for philosophy in Brazil. Based on some questions that the disease raises for humanity and for the country, we seek to identify some tasks inherent to philosophical reflection, while trying to point out what this situation poses as new and urgent for philosophy in Brazil.
