摘要

本文将2019冠状病毒病大流行与气候变化相提并论,利用两个分析轴探讨了从这些危机中可以吸取的教训。首先,这些事件显示出一些值得注意的结构类比,都是非线性动力学的典型。它们表现出潜伏期和引爆点:一开始,事情进展缓慢,但一旦超过临界阈值,就会突然迅速升级;因此,我们什么时候回应他们将会产生影响。其次,如何构建复杂的危机至关重要。只关注它们偶然的方面是具有欺骗性的。相反,这两种情况都应该被视为更广泛的不平衡的症状,即“现代性危机”。因此,本文调查了他们可能的共同根源:不仅是他们的社会经济决定因素,还有世界观假设,特别是长期的二元论,它有助于产生整体的分离感。它认为这种情况不能通过一些表面的改变来解决。相反,它促使我们走向更深层次的转变,涉及我们的思维方式和行为方式。

The COVID-19 Pandemic and the Climate Crisis: A Call to Question the Mindset of Modernity
Drawing a parallel between the COVID-19 pandemic and climate change, the article explores what can be learned from these crises using two axes of analysis. First, such events show some noteworthy structural analogies, being both typified by nonlinear dynamics. They exhibit latency periods and tipping points: at the beginning, things go slowly, but once a critical threshold is exceeded, suddenly escalate quickly; as a result, when we respond to them will make the difference. Second, it is crucial how complex crises are framed. It would be deceptive to concentrate only on their contingent aspects. Both cases should instead be seen as the symptom of a broader imbalance, i.e., a ‘crisis of modernity’. Consequently, the article investigates their possible common roots: not only their socioeconomic determinants, but also worldview assumptions, particularly a long-lasting dualism that contributed to generate an overall sense of separateness. It argues that this situation cannot be addressed through some superficial changes. Rather, it urges us to move toward some deeper shifts, regarding both our way of thinking and behaving.
