Zusammenfassung

This review highlights the contributions of the book La Cruel Pedagogía del Virus (The Cruel Pedagogy of the Virus) from the author Boaventura de Sousa Santos, where we find a critical analysis of the new coronavirus pandemic event. The author puts the current health crisis in its economic, politic and social context of capitalist modernity, bringing out some lessons the virus gives us and proposing some valuable alternatives. The concepts and lessons from the author serve us to think about our practices and the type of knowledge that guide them, focusing on biomedicine, which now occupy a central position in this crisis.
