Abstract

Seeks to, in this article, conduct an analysis of key aspects of thought jonasiano, faced with the problem of dualism embedded in the nihilistic philosophical and scientific thought. This dualism, according to this philosopher, has focused on memory formation west of nature, both modern and contemporary, contributing to a vision of separation between man and nature, especially the basic epistemic and ethical. Jonas proposes an overcoming of dualism, both idealist-rationalist and materialist-naturalist and existential, anticipating that there is a basis in these nihilistic ways of thinking about man-nature relationship, which has its origins in primitive gnosis: soul x body, spirit x material. The output of this dichotomy is a consideration of the values ​​held by teleology in nature itself, which from the earliest forms of organic life already pre-figure the spiritual, then the culminating human responsiveness, in direct proportion to its power techno-scientific development in the world socio-environmentally articulated.
Keywords: memory, nature, dualism, values​​, responsiveness.
