Abstract

Hannah Arendt and Hans Jonas are both deeply influenced by Heidegger’s analysis in directing a great part of their philosophical reflections toward so-called «question of technique», and they go across paths that, as wish the Master, keep an aperture to the Holy and respect toward what has not to profane. It is just such aperture played in a confront with the experienced life that guides them toward positions fundamentally different from the Rector of Heidelberg University, positions that return to establish a close connection between meaning and word, moral commitment and philosophical theory. In front of scientific-technological power, which extends itself up to the capability of being present within nature and human being, and it begins artificial processes with unpredictable consequences in a long time, and probably irreversible consequences, we cannot procrastinate the reflection about the ways to undertake with responsibility, in this new epochal crossroad. Nothing is only “fund”, only matter to manipulate, but all is in relation.
KEY WORD: technics, nature, human being, relation, responsibility
