Vicuña Mackenna\, 4860\, Santiago\, Chile DESCRIPTION:

In \;The Imperative of Responsibility \;Hans Jonas rethinks the foundations of ethics in light of the awesome transformations wrought by modern technology: the threat of nuclear war\, ecological ravage\, genetic engineering\, etc. Though informed by a deep reverence for human life\, Jonas&rsquo\;s ethics is grounded in a doctrine that makes explicit man&rsquo\;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.
