Concept
How could the history and past experiences of epidemics and pandemics help to look at the present scenarios in order to develop ways to intervene and practices to deal with the present time? Could future studies help to anticipate emergencies and to use these data to organize preventive measures considering possible crisis scenarios? How can anticipatory moral imagination help to look forward and evaluate possible futures?
