Hans Jonas on Knowledge - Dictionary of Arguments

Brocker I 608
Knowledge/Action/Ethics/Jonas: the area of human responsibility has expanded from the "sphere of action" (1). Modern technology, however, has created an expanded dimension of responsibility that extends to the entire biosphere.
Problem: human knowledge is no longer equal to the potential expansion beyond the actual field of action. A "gap arises between the power of foreknowledge and the power of action" (2). See Ecological Imperative/Jonas
, Ethics/Jonas.
