Summary/Abstract: In this interview, the philosopher Jean-Luc Nancy, an expert on all matters that concern the body and the community, shares with us his view that the Covid-19 virus is yet another prerequisite for the multiplication of inequalities. The different social groups experience the pandemic ambiguously, while at the same time, the current situation reminds us of a long-forgotten death that has, in fact, been humanity’s well-known companion for centuries. Although we live in an age when information itself is spreading like a virus, today, less than ever before, can we predict what tomorrow will bring. Because, as Nancy tells us, the lockdown is nothing compared to a complete temporal shutdown—we have forgotten that the essence of the future is to be vague.
