	Jonas_Responsibility
		Jonas cries out in hope against the possibility of hope that a new and new kind of imperative of responsibility is required for the technological age lest the very idea of responsibility be itself abrogated and human experience irredeemably debased.
		What Jonas here refers to as the engineering of public opinion and the source of the universal corruption of the word is, in his view, invidious because it produces a specious form of immortal fame by debasing the primary vehicle of human action, i.e., speech.
		Jonas for example cites the self-declared motivation of an astronaut speaking in a TV interview to be nothing other than immortal fame; but such immortality as we know it today has been mass produced by media technology.

	Jonas
		Jonas claims that by making his philosophical arguments and then showing how theology can be understood consistent with those arguments he strengthens (often by “correction” and clarification) the theological stand, making it available to the modern temper.
		Jonas sometimes seems to be saying that it is only a matter of history and tradition (and indeed personal belief) that leads him to express his speculative philosophy using theological terms and categories; that a fully demythologized account would no longer be theological.
		For Jonas the Jewish response to the Holocaust cannot be to abandon belief in God and turn instead to science or philosophy, as it was the European presentment of science and philosophy, in ideological costume, which perpetrated the crisis in the first place.

	Jonas, Hans \| Encyclopedia of Religion
		Hans Jonas (1903–1993) was a theologian and philosopher whose intellectual development moved from research into the Gnosticism of late antiquity through a naturalistic philosophy of life and culminated in establishing an ethic of global ecological responsibility.
		The passion with which Jonas, in his philosophy, attempted to justify the value of life resulted from his confrontation with the Nazis'; utter abandonment of all that is human.
		Jonas published the second volume of Gnosis und Späntantiker Geist in 1954; however, he devoted himself increasingly to other topics and continued to pursue his gnosis research as a peripheral activity.

	Conspiracy of Silence
		In 1974 Hans Jonas argued that medical experimentation is outside the normal bounds of social and moral obligation.
		Jonas proposes that only the genuine act of volunteering to participate can elevate the research subject above the condition of "thinghood." That act, Jonas insists, must involve a measure of self-sacrifice, must be beyond the call of duty, must be in some sense "holy." Jonas elevates participation in medical experimentation to sacralized altruism.
		Jonas is ultimately correct, and the dignity of the individual demands a truly informed consent—not in its present sense of rehearsing a litany of risks and benefits, but a true consent, exposing the assumptions of the system, a consent that is prior to the conspiratorial environment that makes true consent impossible.

	Life Studies Blog: "The Burden and Blessing of Mortality" Hans Jonas
		Hans Jonas's paper, "The Burden and Blessing of Mortality" was published in Hastings Center Report in 1992, a year previous to his death, 1993.
		Reading Jonas, I have come to think that one of the most important topics in the age of life extension would be how to pursue a sort of death, or suicide, without despair, that is to say, that with self-affirmation from the bottom of one's heart.
		This is not what Jonas wanted to say, but I believe he must have thought about it in a corner of his mind when he wrote this paper just before his death.

	Davide's Notes: Jonas' Gnosticism
		Jonas: an existential interpretation of Gnosticism as the expression of a unitary "Spirit of Late Antiquity" defined by Entweltlichung (acosmism).
		According to Jonas, there is a central existential principle in Gnosticism: and this is Entweltlichung, a radical and revolutionary aspect of anticosmism, an attitude which "negates, ultimately, all definite and ordered being and all definite moral norms".
		Jonas published the first volume of his Gnosis und Spätantiker Geist in 1934 as a dissertation under Martin Heidegger and Rudolf Bultmann.

	Jewish-Christian Relations :: Powerlessness of God? A Critical Appraisal of Hans Jonas’s Idea of God after Auschwitz
		Jonas counts on the possibility that further "righteous ones" have existed even "in our times," and so in Auschwitz as well; in this context he remembers "the righteous among the nations" whom he has mentioned before, who in the abyss of the Shoah gave their lives for Israel.
		Was die Rabbinen Hans Jonas antworten könnten, in: Judaica 47 (1991) 51-58 critized the absolute renunciation of the divine power; the rabbinical understanding of the concept of God’s power could accept a partial renunciation and preserved the possibility of the divine judgement.

		As an introduction to this insightful work, Hans Jonas opens with one of the most illuminating overviews of the condition of the Greco-Roman and the Orient from times of Alexander the Great to the early centuries of the Christian Era.
		Hans Jonas' work, overall is an excellent, comprehensive study of the multifaceted belief systems of the Mediterranean World.
		Jonas compares Gnostic thought with schools of philosophy today such as existentialism, which describe man's 'fallen' nature in an imperfect and undesired existence, from which redemption is necessary (but perhaps not possible because of the secular nature of modern society).

		Four years after his death the works of Hans Jonas - one of the most original and prominent thinkers of his generation - have also reached India.
		His life spanned 90 years of our century (from 1903 to 1993), and like few other Western intellectuals he was able to see the deep and dramatic changes that have taken place in the entire so-called civilised world.
		Her contrast of that developing orthodoxy with Gnostic teachings presents an intriguing trajectory on a world faith as it "might have become." The Gnostic Gospels provides engaging reading for those seeking a broader perspective on the early development of Christianity.
