Researched are creative works by J. Butler, American post-modernist philosopher and theorist in gender problematic. In recent years, J. Butler thought has gradually turned from early researches on gender identification to macroscopic reflections on current policy issues. This year, J. Butler published her new work, “The Force of Nonviolence”, in which she put forward a new judgment: “In our time, and at all times, it is necessary to come up with some completely new way to allow humanity to live in peace together”. J. Butler called it “a world of radical equality”.

Key words: coronaviruses, ethical politics, postmodernism.
