| Summary: | Aim. The article examines the anthropological consequences of the coronavirus pandemic. Results. Deep anthropological shifts under its influence are expressed in particular in the revision of the "human-nature" relationship. The pandemic, in its own way, reminded of the close fit of human into the world of the living. This results in a human's growing attention to his vitality. In particular, it can catalyze the transition of biopower into biopolitics, which can be positively interpreted as a sphere of more or less rational administration of biological existence of a person and society. It would involve monitoring and "soft" regulation of the main population parameters, planning trajectories for improving the quality of human biological functioning and effective forecasting of threats (both external, like a contemporary pandemic, and those, which are associated with this management itself). Scientific novelty. It is shown that a pandemic is a special case of a civilization challenge that is capable to lead to a new format of interaction between human and its biology, rational management of it.
