[233]-246.  aIncludes bibliographical references.  aHans Jonas here rethinks the foundations of ethics in light of the awesome transformations wrought by modern technology: the threat of nuclear war, ecological ravage, genetic engineering, and the like. Though informed by a deep reverence for human life, Jonas’s ethics is grounded not in religion but in metaphysics, in a secular doctrine that makes explicit man’s duties toward himself, his posterity, and the environment. Jonas offers an assessment of practical goals under present circumstances, ending with a critique of modern utopianism. 0aEthics9947 0aResponsibility926152 0aTechnologyxMoral and ethical aspects925770  aHerr, David926153etranslator  2lcc  00102lcc4070aTBSbTBSd2025-10-13l2m1oBJ1453 JONpB07685r2025-12-12s2025-11-17t1w2025-10-13y1  c5044d5044
