Summary/Abstract: The crisis is a collective ordeal; it is also an opportunity for learning and the moment when the tensions present in common life and in the search for the common good are revealed. The capacities for collective action, which are partly contingent aspects of political and social evolution, are however also an issue in assessing the rationality of public decisions. As such, they are an operator for addressing the issue of public response to crisis situations, as illustrated by the COVID-19 health crisis.
