- Title
Hans Jonas: Bridging the Gap between Environmental Justice and Environmental Ethics?
- Authors
Ballet, Jérôme; Bazin, Damien
- Abstract
Environmental ethics and environmental justice have followed widely disparate paths, and this disassociation has resulted in an analytical schism. On the one side, environmental ethics embraces humankind's relations with nature; on the opposite side, environmental justice embraces human-to-human relations via the medium of nature. Hans Jonas' work is a bridge that crosses this conceptual divide: he spotlights the narrow correlation between human identity and responsibility, and insists on their inextricable bond with nature. However, this bond is a de facto bond that all human beings have with each other.
