The responsibility theory as an ethics imperative. Hans Jonas and the axiological principle for technoscience.

Abstract

The ethic of responsibility structured by Hans Jonas responds to the current techno-scientific claims through axiological imperative, mediated by the so-called “heuristics of fear”, the prevalence in the investigation of bad predictions over the good ones, and the conjunction of good, duty and being, as a metaphysical support of the ethic; which applied and oriented to the future, is presented as a reliable alternative to guide the processes and developments of techno science, doing emphasis on the biomedical progress of knowledge over the power technique and appealing to a prudent responsibility.
