Coronavirus Quarrel: The Debate between Intellectuals in the Media and the Academy about Post-Pandemic Society.

During the SARS-CoV-2 (or Covid-19) pandemic that has plagued the world in recent months, several renowned intellectuals have spoken in academic publications and the media about the risks and expectations brought by the post-pandemic scenario, sometimes with an ethical or phenomenological-existential approach, and sometimes with a more political focus.
