摘　　要：The ecological conditions that underlie much of human flourishing still receive scant attention from moral philosophers.While interest in philosophy of ecology has grown in recent years,ethicists are still reluctant to grant ecological issues the status they arguably deserve.These issues are not restricted to custodianship of the natural world;they also pertain to our ability to enjoy love relationships and other passionate attachments.While the connection between human flourishing and love relationships has an ancient provenance,recently philosophers such as Harry Frankfurt,Bernard Williams,and Susan Wolf have emphasised it.Nevertheless,the ecological conditions of our passionate attachments remain obscure.This chapter investigates the extent that passionate attachments are underwritten by a delicate balance of ecological conditions.To do this,the author examines the effects of the pandemic caused by the novel coronavirus,SARS-CoV-2,which has threatened a key aspect of passionate attachments:our sociality.
