Hans Jonas and Technological Responsibility

Abstract

The following article develops the concept of technological responsibility, which was studied, among other thinkers, by the philosopher Hans Jonas. Warned as we have been, for several decades now, of the dangers to human life and life in general -and to the same planet as a whole- it is surprising not to find efficient and extensive institutional policies to take responsibility for our production and technological consumption; in addition to the little individual awareness of these bioethical problems. This work also includes a series of interviews that were analyzed and commented on by the authors. We hope that this will invite reflection, the development of new ideas, and that technological responsibility will be able to position itself as a major value in today’s societies.
