Hans Jonas’ Restructuring of Kant’s Ethical Categorical Imperative in the Age of Technology
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 5 page paper discussing Jonas’ restructuring of Kant’s categorical imperative in regards to ethically responsible decisions and actions. In the 18th and 19th centuries, philosophers such as Immanual Kant were interested in “the supreme moral principle” which would govern individual action and decision making in society, religion and politics. Kant in his work “Foundations of the Metaphysics of Morals” developed the categorical imperative which stated “Act so that you can will that the maxim of your action be made the principle of universal law”. This reasoning reflected that individuals “ought” to act in relation to their moral duty and not out of self interest for the good of humanity and society. Since the advent of modern global technology however, contemporary philosophers argue that this categorical imperative falls short of preserving humanity. Hans Jonas in particular argues that Kant’s categorical imperative does not reflect the responsibility needed in present actions in order to preserve not only present generations but also future generations. Technology has such a global impact on all of humanity and the environment that decisions made today must have an imperative of responsibility for the future of humanity.

Hardin's Theory Of "The Tragedy Of The Commons" And Policy Prescriptions - Correct And Reasonable?
[ send me this paper ]
7 pages in length. The extent to which man has threatened his own existence by way of overpopulation, overfarming, overuse of natural resources and ignoring the unspoken law of the land – social responsibility, is both grand and far-reaching, and eloquently drawn together in a nice, neat package written by Garrett Hardin. That Hardin's 1968 literary eye-opener entitled Tragedy of the Commons was sent as a forewarning of the grave consequences facing the twenty-first-century human race is undeniable; Hardin's insightful glance into the future by way of the present declining social and economic conditions are both correct and reasonable like no other prediction before or since.

Harvard Case: Export Of Pesticides
[ send me this paper ]
This 5 page paper is based on a Harvard case study about exporting pesticides from the U.S. to developing countries. It is a paper that deals with ethics and morality. Sections include a synopsis of the scenario, the environment, the issues involved in the case, alternatives, recommendations and conclusions. This is not as clear-cut a case as it might seem. Fields that are treated will produce about 40 percent more crop than untreated fields. For countries that do not have enough food, the morality of selling them the chemicals is almost a moot question. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
