Abstract

What makes a particular event in the world around us a good topic for a political researcher? We intend to answer this question appropriately in this article. In response to this question, we discuss issues from which a political viewpoint might address the Corona epidemic. The purpose of this article is to address questions regarding the relationship between current events in the world around us and politics, the political implications of the Corona Epidemic, as well as the salient aspects of the Corona Epidemic that make it a pertinent subject for political analysis. Attempting to answer the first question, the authors found that they considered the Corona epidemic to be a political phenomenon, not at the ontic level, but at a more fundamental ontological level. An ontology on politics in Iran discusses the Corona Epidemic and proposes the elements that constitute its study as a possible methodology for the political study. This paper is based on elements of Carl Schmidt's political ontology and fundamental theories in the political ontology.
