Philosophical Essays: From Ancient Creed to Technological Man

Meer over het boek

Exploring the intersections of gnosticism, biology, and technology, this collection features essays by Hans Jonas, a significant figure in 20th-century philosophy. Organized in reverse chronological order, it begins with discussions on "Science, Technology, and Ethics," followed by insights into "Organism, Mind, and History," and concludes with reflections on early Christian religious thought. This unique structure emphasizes Jonas's view of the philosophical importance of technology in shaping human understanding and existence.
