Abstract

The imperative of responsibility assumes, generally, the metaphysic conceptions of Hans Jonas on study of ontological questions that involves the man and his ethic responsibility with the environment. For Jonas, the ontological problem is as original and important for any conception of man and nature as for all fenomenology post-kantian, but it brings a difference when the question by the foundation of the being covers the fundamental and decisive question for a right comprehension of the ontological-ethical problem nowadays, that means, the question by the finality in the being. It is about this that is devoted the Ch. III of The Imperative of Responsibility. The essential question about the ends and its place in the being can to be understood when an answer can to be placed to know if exists finality in the physical and objectiv world, or only on subjectiv, mental world.
KEY-WORDS: reponsibility, environment, responsible ethic.
