Since the end of 2019, the world has faced a\nserious health crisis caused by the Covid-19 pandemic. The health crisis, which\nbegan to hit China and spread to most of the world\u2019s countries, has so far\ncaused more than one million casualties. In the attempt to control the spread\nof the virus, many of the world’s governments have implemented drastic\nconfinement measures whose economic, social, and political effects are\ndevastating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The \nresponse  to  this \nprofound  crisis  has \ndemanded  the  best \ncommitment  from  the \nvarious  agents  of \nsociety  and calls upon\nresearchers from the various fields of knowledge to seek solutions to the\nchallenges we face and to reflect on the impact of the pandemic on the various\ndimensions of human life. Philosophy is no exception. In this context, RPF\nintends to contribute to the reflection on the challenges posed by the Covid-19\npandemic, publishing original  philosophical  essays \nthat  address,  from \ndifferent  philosophical  perspectives, \nproblematics  associated with the\ncrisis we are facing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is\nimportant to recognize that the pandemic is much more than a biological\nphenomenon. Covid-19 is experienced in its psychological, social, and\nexistential dimensions by concrete human beings. Philosophy can make an\nimportant contribution to the understanding and interpretation of these complex\nexperiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the\ncurrent pandemic context, science has assumed a major role. Despite the efforts\nof teams of researchers around  the  world \nto  find  a \ntreatment  or  vaccine \nfor  Covid-19,  the \nresults  are  not \nas  fast  as \nthe  public  opinion \nwould expect, which could result in a new perception of the limits and\npossibilities of science. The publication of \nnumerous  articles  on \nthe  subject,  many \nof  which  fall \nshort  of  conventional \nscientific  criteria,  as \nwell  as  the \npromotion  of  treatments \nthat  are  not \nscientifically  validated,  rekindles \nthe  problem  of \nthe  demarcation  of \nsci-ence.  On  the \nother  hand,  the \nuncertainty  associated  with \nmany  of  the \npredictions  regarding  the \nevolution  of  the \npandemic  poses  questions \nabout  the  limitations \nof  quantitative  models \nin  health  sciences \nand  about  the \nepistemological  limits  of \nmultivariable  analysis.  The \nproblem  of  discerning \nbetween  causality  and \ncorrelation also takes on a new relevance.Within  this \nframework,  RPF  invites \nthe  submission  of \noriginal  articles  that \nmay  contribute  to \na  philosophical  reflection on issues related to the pandemic\nsituation we are experiencing. Contributions are accepted for each of the\nfollowing topics: phenomenological and hermeneutical questions; ethical\nproblems; social and political implications; scientific and epistemological\nchallenges.
