Abstract

- Ethic of responsibility. Foundation problems from the point of view of discourse ethics - This paper discusses the problem of the foundation of the ethics of responsibility in Hans Jonas by the point of view of the Karl-Otto Apel’s discourse ethics. In difference to a unilateral reciprocal ethics – like christians charity, ethics of the bond in the kantian sense, ethics of the face according to Levinas, ethics I-You according to Buber – the approach proposed in this paper can be defined as universal reciprocal. This means that it need to consider the interests of all participants in the “life”.
