| Description | The chapter provides an explanation of the main problems and categories of the ethical conception by German-American philosopher Hans Jonas. He centers on social and ethical problems created by technology. Jonas insists that human survival depends on our efforts to care for our planet and its future. He formulated a new and distinctive supreme principle of morality: "Act so that the effects of your action are compatible with the permanence of genuine human life". |
