- Abstract
The book "Critique in Crisis: Perspectives of Political Theory on the Corona Pandemic" discusses various aspects of the Corona pandemic and its effects. It emphasizes the division of responsibilities between natural and social sciences. The book addresses topics such as freedom, equality, state of emergency, democracy, and surveillance. It states that democracy can be endangered during a crisis and that antidemocratic groups could exploit the crisis. A section of the book explores the connection between the Corona and climate crises, emphasizing the ecological causes of both crises. The importance of critical political theory in the pandemic is also discussed. The book "Viruses in Focus - Surveillance and Visibility of Influenza in Germany" examines the surveillance and visibility of viruses, particularly influenza, in Germany. It emphasizes the importance of public involvement in disease surveillance and concludes that influenza surveillance is meaningful and useful. The book "The Elderly as a Confidential Matter" addresses the situation of older people in nursing homes during the Corona pandemic and discusses the violation of fundamental rights and individual freedoms. It criticizes the fact that in the discussion about the isolation of older people, the main argument of avoiding Corona deaths is often ignored.
