Combating Covid: Philosophical Reflections : Reflections on the Changing World Order : Post Pandemic

This edited volume "Combating Covid: Philosophical Reflections"  is an outcome of the Web Lecture Series organized by the Department of Philosophy, Prabhu Jagatbandhu College, Andul, Howrah during the lockdown period when the world was struck by the pandemic. It is an attempt to reflect on the changing world order post pandemic. This book, a collection of articles written by academicians, researchers, scholars and professionals, is a humble attempt to create awareness on how to combat the fallout of covid-19 highlighting the philosophical dimension of the topics covered. This book is a modest attempt of my commitment towards exploring erudition and insight into a sudden situation of a destructive disease creating havoc in our lives to be able to better equip ourselves to cope with the abnormal new normal. The book contains fifteen articles by research scholars and faculties from a rainbow cluster of intellectual fraternity. It encompasses scholarly contributions from the field of economics, philosophy, sociology, psychology, environment etc. The COVID-19 pandemic appears to have the potential to entirely restructure the world ushering a new normal.  It has already impacted the world on a global scale which will probably linger on generating a longstanding disruption that will shape an entirely new human civilization. The basic task of the book is to rethink what would be the new normal in the current scenario and reimagine human society in view of the recent times. The book, a compilation of the views of our intellectual, contemplates on the changes ushered in by this sudden attack on humanity by a virulent virus and suggests ways to tackle this situation in the best possible manner. The book has been envisaged with a view to capture the existing world order, both from a conceptual as well as a practical framework to enumerate, examine and analyse the different dimensions of the transformation of the world post pandemic. The book aims to focus on providing relevant theoretical frameworks on the basis of latest critical study in medical, legal, economic, financial, political and social spheres in the philosophical or ethical context with a motive to provide a roadmap for combating the fallout of the paralytic pandemic. The objective of the book is to churn out new insights and lay down policy prescriptions to guide individuals or the society to adjust to the old world order and move forward in the post pandemic world.  Every individual affected directly or indirectly by the covid can relate to the topics discussed in this book. All responsible citizens, academicians, intellectual fraternity, faculty members of different disciplines and researchers will benefit immensely from the deliberations of experts in their own fields.
