Abstract

Humanity has been struggling with a pandemic that has been effective in the economic, political, and social fields of the world for the last two years. Although there are many reasons for the spread of the coronavirus on a global scale shortly after its emergence in Wuhan, China in October 2019, scientists have explained the emergence of the epidemic in such a short time with interdependence and globalization. Edgar Morin's book "Let's Change Lanes - The Lessons of Coronavirus" is about the social impacts and emerging problems of the pandemic caused by the coronavirus. In this study, Morin claimed that new world order is possible on the basis of humanism, based on the experience of uncertainty created by the coronavirus pandemic and the teachings of the future crisis.
