    BeschrijvingArticle for the Belgian (Flemish) newspaper De Standaard. A short comparison between our Covid-struck days and two historically pivotal epidemics: the plague in Athens and their effect on Plato, and the plague in medieval Europe and their effect on the development of the 'modern worldview'. If we allow ourselves to be thoroughly confused about what is happening today, maybe this might lead to another turn in the history of philosophy.
