Hans Jonas on Values - Dictionary of Arguments

Brocker I 614
Values/Moral/Jonas: Jonas represents a moral realism for which there is objective value recognition. Axiology is part of his ontology (1. according to which there are values in nature that commit us directly. The "should" is founded "in the being" of nature itself (2). The "call," according to Jonas, comes from the outside, not - as with Kant - from (pure practical) reason (3). The human is consequently "placed under a duty to be, as a mandatary, so to speak, of a will of nature" (4). See Ethics/Jonas
, Teleology/Jonas, Being/Jonas.
Brocker I 617
VsJonas: where would the limit be drawn if one wanted to determine the value of a good to be preserved? In insects? In bacteria? In cancer cells? See Duties/Jonas.
