Περίληψη: This article analyzes the interplay between Ubuntu's philosophy: "I am, because we are; and because we are, therefore I am" with the expression "We are all in this together," which resounded mostly in North America and Europe during the COVID-19 pandemic. This article argues that the expression "We are all in this together" directly or indirectly adopted Ubuntu's philosophy of relational solidarity in handling and navigating the COVID-19 pandemic. The expression implicitly acknowledges that pandemics can be mitigated through collaboration, shared responsibility, and relational solidarity.
