The book delves into the Responsibility Principle proposed by Hans Jonas, exploring the ethical obligations humans have toward future generations and the environment. It critiques contemporary society's technological dominance, likening modern man to an "unleashed Prometheus" who has lost touch with responsible stewardship of nature. The author presents Jonas's moral framework as a potential pathway to planetary salvation, urging a shift from technological utopia to a recognition of humanity's interconnectedness within the broader ecological system.
