Summary/Abstract: Infections and epidemics are not new in human history. Documented from time immemorial, from Athens Thucydides to the Spanish flu and COVID-19 of the third millennium, they have always been and will be with humanity. This study provides a philosophical-historical and socio-philosophical assessment of the devastation y crisis caused by the cholera and bubonic plague epidemic in the nascent Republic of Chile in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
