"Martin D. Yaffe's Judaism and Environmental Ethics: A Reader is a well-conceived exploration of three interrelated questions: Does the Hebrew Bible, or subsequent Jewish tradition, teach environmental responsibility or not? What Jewish teachings, if any, appropriately address today's environmental crisis? Do ecology, Judaism, and philosophy work together, or are they at odds with each other in confronting the current crisis? Yaffe's ext ..."






The Phenomenon of Life(1st Edition)
Toward a Philosophical Biology (Studies in Phenomenology and Existential Philosophy)
by Hans Jonas, Eleonore Jonas, Lawrence Vogel, Robert Powell
Paperback, 304 Pages, Published 2001 by Northwestern University Press
ISBN-13: 978-0-8101-1749-5, ISBN: 0-8101-1749-5

"But to early man, standing on his earth arched by the dome of its sky, it could never occur that life might be a side issue in the universe, and not its pervading rule. His panvitalism was a perspective truth which only a change of perspective could eventually displace. Unquestioned and convincing at the beginning stands the experience of the omnipresence of life. In such a world-view, the riddle confronting man is death: it is the ..."






The Imperative of Responsibility(Updated)
In Search of an Ethics for the Technological Age
by Hans Jonas, David Herr
Paperback, 263 Pages, Published 1985 by University Of Chicago Press
ISBN-13: 978-0-226-40597-1, ISBN: 0-226-40597-4

"Hans Jonas here rethinks the foundations of ethics in light of the awesome transformations wrought by modern technology: the threat of nuclear war, ecological ravage, genetic engineering, and the like. Though informed by a deep reverence for human life, Jonas's ethics is grounded not in religion but in metaphysics, in a secular doctrine that makes explicit man's duties toward himself, his posterity, and the environment. Jonas offers an ..."






The Gnostic Religion
The Message of the Alien God and the Beginnings of Christianity
by Hans Jonas
302 Pages, Published 2015 by Beacon Press
ISBN-13: 978-0-8070-5800-8, ISBN: 0-8070-5800-9

"Of course, the relative prominence of this cosmogonic feature in the Chenobo- skion collection — a consequence of its Sethian emphasis — is no reason for now seeing in it more than the quite specific feature, peculiar to one group of teachings, as which it appeared before. The emanation-, aeon- and Sophia- speculation of the whole "Syrian-Egyptian" gnosis has no room for it; the "Iranian" gnosis itself, to which it belongs, can do w ..."

ISBN-13: 978-0-9827067-9-4, ISBN: 0-9827067-9-0

"Philosophical Essays is a pivotal volume in the collected works of Hans Jonas (1903-1993), one of most important German-American philosophers of the last half of the 20th century. Of the four books published in English during his lifetime, it is the only one to include contributions from his three primary areas of achievement: philosophical reflection on gnosticism, on biology, and on technology - hence the subtitle, "From Ancient Cree ..."

Paperback, 400 Pages, Published 2001 by Beacon Press
ISBN-13: 978-0-8070-5801-5, ISBN: 0-8070-5801-7

"It was preceded (speaking of written relics only) by the enormous find, early in the century, of Mamchaean writings at Turfan in Chinese Turkestan; by the further unearthing, about 1930 in the Egyptian Fayum, of parts of a Manichaean library in Coptic; and was closely followed by the discovery of the Dead Sea scrolls in Palestine. If we add to these new sources the Mandaean writings, whose progressive coming to light since the latt ..."

ISBN-13: 978-0-8101-1285-8, ISBN: 0-8101-1285-X

"Hans Jonas (1903-93) was a German Jew, pupil of Heidegger and Bultmann, lifelong friend and colleague of Hannah Arendt at the New School for Social Research, and one of the most prominent thinkers of his generation. The range of his topics never obscures their unifying thread: that our mortality is at the root of our moral responsibility to safeguard humanity's future. Mortality and Morality both consummates and demonstrates the basic t ..."

ISBN-13: 978-0-226-40595-7, ISBN: 0-226-40595-8

"A classic of phenomenology and existentialism, The Phenomenon of Life sets forth a systematic and comprehensive philosophy--an existential interpretation of biological facts laid out in support of his claim that the mind is prefigured throughout organic existence. Hans Jonas shows how life-forms present themselves on an ascending scale of perception and freedom of action, a scale reaching its apex in a human being's capacity for thought ..."

Hardcover, 320 Pages, Published 2008 by Brandeis University Press
ISBN-13: 978-1-58465-639-5, ISBN: 1-58465-639-5

"When Hans Jonas died in 1993 at the age of 89, he was revered among American scholars specializing in European philosophy, but his thought had not yet made great inroads among a wider public. In Germany, conversely, during the 1980s, when Jonas himself was an octogenarian, he became a veritable intellectual celebrity, owing to the runaway success of his 1979 book, The Imperative of Responsibility, a dense philosophical work that sold 2 ..."
