Se elucida en torno del binomio degradacion y progreso y se buscan sus causas y consecuencias en la denominada modernidad . De igual modo, se esbozan reflexiones de caracter ontologico acerca de la deshumanizacion de la ciencia y su impacto en nuestras vidas. Si Todo preguntar es una busqueda , como lo afirma el filosofo aleman, el que ensaya tiene ante si una serie de interrogantes que no pretende resolver, sino que le permitan avanzar y retroceder, pero siempre desde la voz personal. The main objective of this essay is to propose a series of questions raised from the book Being and Time by Heidegger, these questions seek to generate reflections around the world crisis caused by the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19). This essay analyzes the incongruence presented in the binomial degradation and progress and its causes are sought in the so-called modernity. In the same way, this essay reflects on the dehumanization of science and its impact in our lives. If everything to ask is a search , as the German philosopher affirms, the one who rehearses has before him a series of questions that he does not intend to solve, but rather allow him to go back and forth, but always from the personal voice.esHumanitiesPhilosophyHistoricity (philosophy)Modernityarticle
