This article considers the Covid-19 pandemic in relation to postmodern forms of representing Nature, limits and death. Taking Pope Francis I‟s encyclical on environmental issues as a starting point, it considers the relationship between the age of technology and the Anthropocene according to the contribution of posthumanism derived from the Nietzschean-Foucauldian perspective. The teachings of the philosopher Emanuele Severino on the problem of contingency and the idea of eternity are examined.
