Mortality and Morality: A Search for Good After Auschwitz

Focusing on the intertwining of ethics and metaphysics, this work highlights Hans Jonas's philosophical perspective that values are fundamental to existence. As a prominent thinker influenced by notable figures like Heidegger and Bultmann, and a close associate of Hannah Arendt, Jonas's ideas reflect a deep exploration of the relationship between moral principles and the nature of reality. This book serves as both a culmination of his thought and a demonstration of its relevance in contemporary philosophical discourse.
