Description
This Routledge book explores how political leaders, philosophers, historians, and writers have interpreted catastrophic diseases and disasters throughout history, from Thucydides to the contemporary COVID pandemic. By examining these events through the lens of political theory, the work reveals what such crises teach us about politics, society, and human nature. The book considers thinkers including Thucydides, Sophocles, and Augustine, drawing connections between ancient plagues and modern pandemics to illuminate both the insights and limitations of political theory when applied to understanding collective trauma and societal response.
