O PROBLEMA DA TÉCNICA E A CRÍTICA À TRADIÇÃO NA ÉTICA DE HANS JONAS

In his major writing on ethics, Hans Jonas proposes a new content for ethics and a new meaning to what we term as responsibility. On the basis of his proposition of a theory of responsibility include three key points: 1) a critique of the ethical tradition, 2) the problem of technical and 3) the heuristics of fear. These are essential to the legitimacy and understanding of Jonas' statement that "new times demand a new ethic." In the current study is to reconstruct the main arguments of Jonas for the three points mentioned.
