Abstract

Corona, like some Greek words, has two meanings; both the crown and the aura. It is now worldly/pandemic and has become the crown of the world and has swallowed everything in its aura. Disease of Covid-19 has put the world on the brink; as far as the pre-Corona and post-Corona world is spoken of as two very different worlds. Corona reveals the boundary position of the present world; Without having already reached a consensus on it. The Corona is crucial moment; it means the terrifying collapse of time and space full of bandits, without a pre-arranged plan to confront them. The signs of a changing world had long since become apparent when the global village was spoken of; but there was no agreement on the themes and ways of collective life in the globalized world. The author, by accepting the presupposition (the foundation of human collective life based on the dialectic of thesis, antithesis and synthesis) and by considering the approach of political history and using the method of history-bond explanation, has tried to justify the idea that the Corona as a turning point cause the human society needs to a new social contract. If in 1648, Münster of Westphalia, was the end of the war and the beginning of a collective agreement; Wuhan of 2019 marks the beginning of the battle for globalized humanity to step into the path of a new agreement for a new treaty.
