Abstract

This article deals with the philosophical assumptions that guide Darwinism from the perspective of Hans Jonas and his critique of the dualism still present in existentialism. Emphasizing the role of dualism in the philosophical tradition and its reverberations within the modern scientific view, biological life in its most fundamental sense has been fragmented by the mechanistic interpretation provided by Cartesianism and the modern idea of origin that nourish nihilism and the perspective of nothingness of an ontology of death as opposed to an ontology of life.
