Reviews

Theresa Morris is making Hans Jonas's ethics and philosophy of life easier to digest by analyzing his main ideas that seemed lost in the darkness, inaccessible due to the language barrier or because he did not publish much of his work in his lifetime or maybe just because we are too focused on our transitory interests to realize the importance of metaphysics when it comes to nature, which is the only key when it comes to providing a solid ontological foundation for ethics. - META
