Hans Jonas here rethinks the foundations of ethics in light of the awesome transformations wrought by modern tools: the risk of nuclear battle, ecological ravage, genetic engineering, and so on.
–This text identifies the Paperback edition. Jonas provides an assessment of useful goals under present conditions, closing with a critique of contemporary utopianism. Though educated by a deep reverence for human being life, Jonas’s ethics is usually grounded not really in religion however in metaphysics, in a secular doctrine which makes explicit man’s responsibilities toward himself, his posterity, and the surroundings.
