Hans Jonas (1903–1993) was one of the most important German-Jewish philosophers of the 20th century. A student of Martin Heidegger and close friend of Hannah Arendt, Jonas advanced the fields of phenomenology and practical ethics in ways that are just beginning to be appreciated in the English-speaking world. Drawing here on unpublished and newly translated material, Lewis Coyne brings together for the first time in English Jonas’s philosophy of life, ethic of responsibility, political theory, philosophy of technology and bioethics. In Hans Jonas: Life, Technology and the Horizons of Responsibility, Coyne argues that the aim of Jonas’s philosophy is to confront three critical issues inherent to modernity: nihilism, the ecological crisis and the transhumanist drive to biotechnologically enhance human beings. While these might at first appear disparate, for Jonas all follow from the materialist turn taken by Western thought from the 17th century onwards, and he therefore seeks to tackle all three issues at their collective point of origin. This book explores how Jonas develops a new categorical imperative of responsibility on the basis of an ontology that does justice to the purposefulness and dignity of life: to act in a way that does not compromise the future of humanity on earth. Reflecting on this, as we face a potential future of ecological and societal collapse, Coyne forcefully demonstrates the urgency of Jonas’s demand that humanity accept its newfound responsibility as the ‘shepherd of beings’.

When Hans Jonas died in 1993, he was revered among American scholars specializing in European philosophy, but his thought had not yet made great inroads among a wider public. In Germany, conversely, during the 1980s, when Jonas himself was an octogenarian, he became a veritable intellectual celebrity, owing to the runaway success of his 1979 book The Imperative of Responsibility. In the 1920s, Jonas studied philosophy with Edmund Husserl and Martin Heidegger, but the Nazi regime forced him to leave Germany for London in 1933. He later emigrated to Palestine and eventually enlisted in the British Army’s Jewish Brigade to fight against Hitler. Following the Israeli War of Independence, he emigrated to the United States and took a position at the New School for Social Research in New York. He became part of a circle of friends around Hannah Arendt and Heinrich Blucher, which included Adolph Lowe and Paul Tillich. This memoir, a diverse collection of previously unpublished materials—diaries, letters, interviews, and public statements—has been organized by Christian Wiese, whose afterword links the Jewish dimensions of Jonas’s life and philosophy. Because Jonas’s life spanned the entire twentieth century, this memoir provides nuanced pictures of German Jewry during the Weimar Republic, of German Zionism, of the Jewish emigrants in Palestine during the 1930s and 1940s, and of German Jewish émigré intellectuals in New York. Since Memoirs was first published in 2008, interest in the work of Hans Jonas has grown among American academics in recent years.
What if you discovered the key to an international conspiracy that could destroy the United States and democracies around the world? How long would you have to live? The clock is ticking for Morgan Alvarez, an investigative journalist who once saved Thomas Gunn's life. She suddenly disappears, desperately sending a mysteriously coded message that only he can crack. Racing to follow her cryptic clues, he and his partner Julie are thrust into a convoluted minefield of shady financial dealings, political corruption, extortion, murder and a lust for power on a scale that both stuns and terrifies them.While tracking billions of dollars shipped through Afghanistan, Iran, Bolivia, Estonia, the UK and USA, they tangle with ruthless Mexican drug cartels, corrupt politicians, greedy Wall St brokers and even the CIA, FBI, and MI5. The stakes are high in this deadly game. The only rule? Survival at all costs. But something keeps niggling at Thomas's mind. Who first set this evil plan in motion? Where? And why?It appears the shocking truth lies in the painful memories of Thomas's past, during covert operations in Afghanistan at the height of the war. A past he had hoped to forget, but will not forget him. Incensed at what he discovers, he does something so outrageous that its boldness and daring will take your breath away But how high a price will he have to pay for uncovering the truth?As the son of an MI6 operative, former Officer in Britain's elite Parachute Regiment, pilot, race-car driver, yachtsman and bestselling author of "Contact", AFN Clarke brings a wealth of experience to his writing. This book may be read as a stand-alone story, however readers wishing to follow the whole series may gain a greater appreciation of the background and personality of Thomas Gunn by also reading the first book, "The Orange Moon Affair". The series has been hailed by the San Francisco Book Review as "fast-paced books that you won't want to put down and you won't want them to finish." Available in both ebook and paperback format.AUTHOR INTERVIEW"Why do you think this series has been so well received by readers worldwide?"AFN Clarke: I think it's because from page one, Thomas's world becomes their world He's a caring, compassionate man who's found love and wants to leave his old life behind him. But when something dramatic and deeply personal shakes him to the core, the only way he knows to right a wrong, expose a crime or bring an enemy to its knees is to go back to who he once was - a Special Forces officer, skilled in assassination, covert operations and international espionage. The problem is, at what cost?I think readers also appreciate the strong female protagonists essential to the series. Whether motivated by good or evil, they are powerful, independent-thinking women, whose strength of character, insights, skills and intelligence directly determine how the action unfolds.THOMAS GUNN SERIES BOOK CATEGORIESEach book in the series has its own themes with specific genres as listed below.

"They Come to Us without a Word" documents Joan Jonas' (born 1936) project for the US Pavilion of the 56th Venice Biennale, an installation that incorporates multiple components, including projected videos (with music by Jason Moran), drawings and photographs. Each section of the pavilion represents a particular creature (bees, fish) or natural condition. Recited fragments of ghost stories sourced from the oral tradition of Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, form a continuous narrative linking one room to the next. Designed with Jonas' close collaboration, this book features an extensive collection of images selected by the artist, including stills, drawings and photographs. Also included is a major new text by Jonas herself, as well as significant texts from Ann Reynolds and Marina Warner, and an interview with the artist by Ingrid Schaffner.

Jonas ist ein Duplik. Er lebt mit vielen anderen Dupliks in einem sogenannten Hort, abgeschottet von der Welt, und muss nichts anderes tun als Sport treiben, sich richtig ernähren und auf seine Gesundheit achten. Nur eine Bedrohung gibt es in diesem idyllisch anmutenden Leben: den FRASS. Eine Krankheit, die plötzlich und unbemerkt auftritt, die alle Organe befallen und die nur mit der sofortigen Entfernung des jeweiligen Körperteils ?geheilt? werden kann. Die grausame Wirklichkeit, die dahinter steckt, ahnt keiner der Dupliks: Sie sind genetische Zwillinge von in der ?normalen? Welt lebenden Menschen und müssen jederzeit als Ersatzteillager fungieren. Eines Tages ist auch Jonas vom FRASS befallen.
