Abstract

This paper is a reflection about the advancements of science and its possibilities of transform the nature and environment. It shows the aim to rescue the ethics of responsibility suggested in references works of Max Weber and Hans Jonas. The ethics of responsibility is an extremely critical analysis of modern science and its principal arm, the thecnology. It suggests the need of all humans to act with moderation and humility in face of excessive power of technoscience to transform the inherent nature of man and the environment.
