The exploration of ethics in the context of humanity's pursuit of technical perfection highlights the tension between personal rights and the need for mutual support. It argues that complete independence from natural forces would disrupt humanity's connection to natural history. The book emphasizes the importance of ethical assessments over blind reliance on technology and market trends. It outlines criteria for evaluating the goodness of human life and nature, engaging in meta-ethical discussions and drawing conclusions relevant to medicine, biotechnology, and information technology.

This is a new interpretative guide to Hegel's influential Phenomenology of Spirit, a work that combines a world history of culture and society with a systematic epistemology and a philosophy of nature and culture. A subtle and elegantly argued assessment, the book appears here in English for the first time.
