| dc.description.abstract | This chapter is concerned with extra-biological, extra-medical or extra-health factors, namely: actions and inactions (commissions and omissions) that are morally unjust – that is, which are moral injustice – which ultimately cause, enable or contribute to pandemics and epidemics in Africa. Therefore, although this chapter is dealing with health, the framework of the chapter is neither biological nor medical, but political. This is what is referred to in the chapter as a <i>political conception</i> of pandemics and epidemics. The contention of the chapter is that the interactional and institutional failure to conform to the communal basic structure of society (assuming the communal basic structure is itself just and not unjust) causes, enables or contributes to pandemics and epidemics in Africa. | en_US |
