Comment vivre dans le monde, comment assumer la condition humaine en évitant, d'un côté, un monisme réducteur qui ôterait toute autonomie à l'agir et, de l'autre côté, un dualisme désarticulant qui lui ôterait tout sens et toute valeur? C'est à cette question centrale dans l'oeuvre de Hans Jonas, et qui lui aura servi de fil conducteur toute sa vie, que veut répondre cet ouvrage. En exploitant l'ensemble de l'oeuvre du penseur allemand - de ses écrits sur le gnosticisme dans les années 1930 jusqu'à ses travaux sur la civilisation technologique des années 1970-1990 - il étudie les continuités et les ruptures qui, au cours de cette réflexion philosophique s'étendant sur presque sept décennies, ont marqué le rapport de Hans Jonas au défi du dualisme. Hans Jonas y émerge comme un penseur à la fois profondément respectueux de la tradition philosophique occidentale et radicalement orienté vers l'avenir de la vie humaine dans un monde où sa place, de plus en plus transformée par les avancées technologiques, doit être repensée.

"Hans Jonas (1903-1993) was one of the most important German-Jewish philosophers of the 20th century. A student of Martin Heidegger and close friend of Hannah Arendt, Jonas advanced the fields of phenomenology and practical ethics in ways that are just beginning to be fully appreciated in the English-speaking world. Drawing on unpublished and newly translated material, Lewis Coyne brings together, in a English-language volume, Jonas's philosophy of life, ethic of responsibility, political theory, philosophy of technology and bioethics. Coyne argues that the aim of Jonas's philosophy is to confront three problems inherent to modernity: nihilism, the ecological crisis and the transhumanist drive to biotechnologically modify human beings. While these might at first appear disparate, Jonas demonstrates that all in fact follow from the materialist turn taken by Western thought in the seventeenth century. Coyne then shows how Jonas tackles these issues at their collective point of origin. On the basis of an ontology that does justice to the purposefulness and dignity of life, Jonas develops a new categorical imperative of responsibility: to act in a way that does not compromise the future of humanity on Earth. The book concludes with a reflection on two possible futures: one of ecological and societal collapse, following from our present course of action, and another in which the biosphere and all that depends upon it is saved - humanity having accepted its newfound responsibilities as the 'shepherd of beings'"--
