Since the 17 th century,people have to explore the mysteries of nature and vigorously develop science and technology.With the development of modern science and technology,human scientific and technical activities are not limited to the scope of technological research and research.There have also been major changes in the consequences of technological actions.Hans Jonas believes that traditional ethics that were built on the basis of the individual no longer adapt to the new technological situation,so he put forward a law of responsibility on the basis of Kant's Absolute Decree,which focuses on defending the responsibilities of future generations and the nature.He took the existence of human ideas as the logical starting point,regarding the protection of the future of mankind as an overriding duty for human actions,and proved the objective value of nature through teleology,and eventually returned to the ontology of existence.Humanity has gained tremendous power in pursuing technological progress.At the same time,this force has continuously promoted the need for technology itself.Bacon did not foresee this profound paradox of knowledge,which has now put forward by Hans Jonas who thinks it as natural threats.Therefore,before the catastrophe comes,a force above the power is needed to control the development of technology.First of all,Hans Jonas Lessens thinks that the power above this power comes from society.Therefore,he examines the two existing human social systems from the economic,political,and moral perspectives,and believes that the society is in control of technological development.It has more advantages than capitalism.At the same time,it is necessary to establish a political system that can tighten policies to allow people to lead a life of restraint and to adopt a cautious attitude in the face of evolving modern technologies.Secondly,in the face of the continuous development of modern technology,Hans Jonas Lessens put forward the “Worship Enlightenment Act” to give priority to predicting the misfortune of the development of modern technology and inspire people to imagine the danger of future technological development,so as to effectively prevent the possibility of modern technology.Disaster for humanity.This article is based on the original masterpiece of responsibility ethics of Hans Jonas 's Responsibility Principle: ?The Imperative of Responsibility,in search of an Ethics for the Technological Age ? as the main basis for the study of the above-mentioned principle of responsibility.The full text is divided into four parts: The first part is the introduction,which introduces the research background and significance of the research in detail,and summarizes the research status of Hans Jonas ethical ethic at home and abroad.The second part firstly introduced the life of Hans Jonas and his.academic development.His responsibility ethics are in the basis of western technological ethics,and then he expressed his concern on ethical problems brought by technological advancement.The third part focuses on the study of the main theories and knowledge of the Responsible Ethical Thought of Hans Jonas,including the new decrees of Responsible Ethics-the existence of distant generations and the responsibility of nature,the predictive knowledge of the Ethics of Responsibility-the anxiety and enlightenment,and The Way to Realize Responsibility Ethics-Seek Strength from Strength.The fourth part is the ontological proof of Hans Jonas' s ethical ethic,including teleology and axiology.It points out that the existence of value is due to purpose.It is responsible to nature and distant generations because of nature's purposeful existence.Through its intrinsic objective value,it is proved that “should” is reflected by the existence.The fifth part is the evaluation of the ethical ideology of Hans Jonas,including the theoretical contribution and the inadequacy of Hans Jonas' thinking on the development of ethics.We must take its essence to its dross and promote it and we should learn its responsibility ethics which are suitable for technological era.Then,it is advocated that technological workers,government,technology managers and public should take some responsibilities in scientific improvement.
