Influência da ética na preservação do meio ambiente na perspectiva de Hans Jonas

Abstract

This monograph examines the influence of ethics on environmental preservation from the perspective of Hans Jonas, highlighting the ecological crisis resulting from modernity and the irrational exploitation of natural resources. Based on Hans Jonas’ ethics of responsibility, the research proposes a new categorical imperative that extends ethics to include both future generations and non-human nature, recognizing the need to protect and preserve the environment for all living beings and future generations. The monograph explores the relationship between technological progress and environmental degradation, proposing solutions that emphasize intergenerational responsibility, green technological innovation and community participation. The conclusion underlines the importance of a paradigmatic shift in human values ​​and behaviors to achieve a sustainable and just society. The application of Jonas’ ethical principles is presented as a robust approach to address contemporary ecological challenges and ensure the preservation of authentic life on Earth.
