The comprehensive and life-long task Hans Jonas sets himself is to find an ethics for the our age, the technological one; an approach he develops mainly in his book The Imperative of Respon-­ sibility. Jonas is certainly not against technology especially since technological innovations play positive roles in the field of health and medicine, communication and transport. While the technologi­- cal potential itself is not the problem, the lack o f ethical restrictions, the unbridled and uncontrolled development and increase o f tech­ nological power is indeed a problem. The destructive potential o f technology cannot be contained and Jonas metaphorically describes this ethical impasse as ‘the finally unbound Prometheus.’ The lim­- itlessness and infiniteness o f human dominion are expressions o f our Promethean arrogance and immodesty. It is one thing that we have reached such degree o f technical mastery' that we can cultivate, manipulate, shape and change life up to the point that we irrevers­- ibly damage or even destroy it. It is another that there are no ethical restrictions that can protect us from effectuating our own demise as well as the destruction o f the environment. It is in this context that Jonas underscores the importance o f human responsibility. The author holds that everyone can participate in the critique of technological utopianism and construction o f a new world, more human, more clean. Whether through an artistic practice, through participation in events, by creating a website, or through discussions and debates, everyone can add a stone to build our future world and to bring about change in the attitude o f humanity. The Imperative of Responsibility is one o f those stones which humanity needs today. It seems then that the ethics of Jonas by criticizing the enslavement of human person to our modern economy and comfort technology, addresses one of the biggest problems that humanity must address in the twenty-first century.
