Description
Summary:The central objective of my research is to underline the central element which allows us to provide a unified understanding of the otherwise diversified parts of Hans Jonas' work. This central element is the notion of dualism. I will demonstrate that, according to his interpretation of the history of philosophy, both related to his study of Gnosticism and modern philosophy, and according to his own philosophical reasoning, that is his philosophical biology and his ethics of responsibility, dualism is the main theme of Jonas' thought, and that such a perspective has intrinsic interpretative value. I will thus underline the value of Jonas' philosophical thesis for contemporary philosophical reasoning, partly by showing the foundation of his ethics of responsibility, starting with his analysis of dualism and the philosophical anthropology which it produces.
