A ÉTICA DA RESPONSABILIDADE EM ARENDT E JONAS

Hannah Arendt and Hans Jonas devised the "ethics of Responsibility”. For Arendt ethics aims at politics, and for Jonas, at the future. Arendt believes that politics should think and organize the present in search of the future. Jonas relates ethics to politics, but he doesn´t focus his discussion on this theme. Thus, it is questionable whether the two ethics preach the same content, or whether they diverge, and if so, in which content and at which moment. Furthermore, the new concepts that Arendt and Jonas add to ethical thinking, particularly what each one specifically brings about that makes their concepts both current and relevant.
