A problemática humana da violência bélica na sociedade hodierna: uma reflexão a partir da ética da responsabilidade de Hans Jonas

Abstract

The theme of this monograph is: The Human Problem of Military Violence in Today's Society: a reflection based on the ethics of responsibility of Hans Jonas. The approach is framed in the area of Ethics, specifically in the ethical debate raised since the modern era with the development and massive use of technology. The problem discussed in the monograph is the resurgence of military violence in today's society and its consequences, as a by-product of the unbridled progress of technology and science, which have eminently called into question the dignity of Man. Therefore, the monograph aims in general to reflect on the problem of military violence in today's society, which in an unprecedented way attacks Man in ethical and Human Rights aspects. Specifically, the monograph aims to: Contextualize the ethical thought of Hans Jonas; Describe the foundations of Hans Jonas' ethics in the context of excessive technical-scientific progress; Discuss Hans Jonas' ethical contribution to war violence in today's societies. This monograph follows a qualitative approach, using the bibliographic method and supported by the hermeneutic technique. The motivation for writing this monograph is the humanitarian crisis that has been occurring in Cabo Delgado since 2017, caused by terrorism. In this sense, the monograph is relevant insofar as it questions the bases of current morality and reflects on the consequences of war for Man and, can contribute to a philosophical approach on war violence and the crisis of Human Rights. The research emphasizes that, although the progress of science and technology is crucial for human progress, the unbridled use of these instruments gives rise to dehumanization and consequent violation of dignity and freedom. Therefore, the ethics of responsibility constitutes an essential proposal to face war incursions, advocating heuristic and responsible action
