Unlike other modern philosophers, Hans Jonas, whose ethics of responsibility started from a diagnosis of the crisis of the modern civilization and proposed a new ethnic paradime, takes the ontological rather than epistemological position. Our sense of responsibility comes from the principles of Dasein. Also, our Dasein is revealed by the Aristotelian teleological concept. The ultimate concept in the teleological metaphysics must have the epistemologically intuitive clarification. For without it the foundation of Dasein disappears. Based on this respect, Jonas argues that the notion of responsibility starting from the principles of Dasein gets the ethnic demension of what should be. Therefore Jonas’s imperative of responsibility can not be a individual dimension. As the phrase, “heuristic of fear” indicates, his theory of ethics has to be broadened as an inquiry for the possibility of overcoming the crisis of the whole world. For this respect, his imperative of responsibility stands out from other modern philosophers who try to recognize and solve the crisis. Hans Küng incorporates Jonas’ns, human religion will enable us to embody practically the norms of morality.
