Abstract
Hans Jonas is well-known for his work published under the title The Imperative of Responsibility: In Search of an Ethics for the Technological Age. The idea of care is incorporated in his concept of responsibility which is a prospective caring responsibility in fact. The study, departing from Jonas’ concept of ethics based on one sole principle, investigates the role of notion of care in Jonasien ethics and the place the notion of care takes in his Principle of Responsibility (“Prinzip Verantwortung”). Furthermore the paper searches for the relation between responsibility and care in Jonasien ethics, taking into account the historical background of Jonas’ use of care. Finally the potential impact of the notion of care for contemporary ethical theories will be discused and care as a prospective and conceptual tool for bioethics discourse in the age of bio-information-technology will be proposed.
