| Summary: | The aim of this paper is to analyze the implications of the power of technique over nature and the ethical principles that aim to overcome these problems in the contemporary world, with Hans Jonas and Catherine and Raphäel Larrère as central authors. The central issue of this text is that these three authors are in agreement about the fact that the promise of modern technology has been converted into a threat to humanity, and that the assumptions of traditional ethics are no longer sufficiently adequate to overcome this situation. However, there is conflict regarding the operationalization of a more effective response to this problem. Jonas proposes the "responsibility principle," while Larrère & Larrère suggest the "precautionary principle." Thus, this article aims to contribute to the current debate on environmental ethics in the environmental sciences, from an interdisciplinary perspective. |
