Through lockdowns, vaccine mandates and the spectre of mass death, the pandemic has challenged us to think differently about what we owe each other as a society.
We’ve been forced to reexamine the basic rules of life: how we should live and work, who we can visit, whether we obey new laws.
And as we enter the third year of the pandemic, philosopher and ethicist Hugh Breakey poses an interesting question: has the pandemic fundamentally changed the way we think about ethics?
It’s possible our social mores will “snap back” once the threat recedes, he says. But it’s also possible our learned lessons and ingrained habits will persist. And only time will tell whether these changes make our society better or worse.
