This is an intellectual biography of Hans Morgenthau. Morgenthau was a German Jew who, in fleeing Nazi Germany, emigrated to the United States in the mid-1930s. He subsequently came to have an important impact upon the nascent discipline of International Relations in the United States in the immediate post-war period. His book Politics Among Nations was the first major textbook to be used in International Relations within American universities and through a number of editions it came to sell something like half a million copies. Morgenthau was also active as a public commentator on international politics and, in particular, American foreign policy and he became a prominent opponent of the Vietnam War in the 1960s and early 1970s. The central claim of this thesis is that Morgenthau's intellectual contributions and political activities can only be properly understood when set in the broader intellectual and political contexts both of Germany where he was educated and the United States where he spent the second half of his life.

CoordenaÃÃo de AperfeiÃoamento de Pessoal de NÃvel Superior / Assumimos como objeto de trabalho a proposta de uma nova teoria Ãtica elaborada pelo filÃsofo alemÃo Hans Jonas(1903-1993). Preocupado com o rumo catastrÃfico que a civilizaÃÃo tecno-cientifica parece estar tomando, Jonas em seu Principio Responsabilidade (1979) desvela os problemas engendrados pelo uso desmedido da tÃcnica. Desta forma, tal obra se revela aqui como reflexÃo fundamental para o desenvolvimento deste trabalho. No primeiro momento, nos deteremos a abordar a questÃo da tÃcnica imbricada à sociedade tecnolÃgica, passando pela figura alegÃrica do Prometeu desacorrentado, percorremos as implicaÃÃes do programa baconiano de dominaÃÃo da natureza assumido na era moderna, retornando à influÃncia do estoicismo, atà uma reformulaÃÃo do imperativo kantiano, dada as modificaÃÃes pelas quais a Ãtica contemporÃnea à submetida. No segundo momento, a questÃo da ontologia da vida evidencia a necessidade do reconhecimento do valor intrÃnseco do ser orgÃnico, pensando uma Ãtica para alÃm do antropocentrismo; ao reconhecer o homem nÃo sà como agente modificador da natureza, mas tambÃm, como objeto de sua prÃpria invenÃÃo, refletir atà que ponto o homem da sociedade tecnolÃgica ainda mantÃm sua essÃncia humana. Por fim, o terceiro momento abriga a heurÃstica do temor assumida como mÃtodo, pensando a responsabilidade como um princÃpio politico, Ãtico e coletivo, mas sobretudo, um compromisso para com as geraÃÃes futuras. / We assume, as object of work, a new proposal ethical theory developed by the German philosopher Hans Jonas(1903-1993). Concerned about the catastrophic direction that techno-scientific civilization seems to be taking Jonas in his Principle Responsibility (1979) unveils the problems engendered by excessive use of the technique. Thus, this work reveals itself as crucial to the development of this work reflection. At first, we will consider in addressing the issue of imbricated technique technological society, through the allegorical figure of Prometheus unchained, traveled the implications of baconian program assumed domination of nature in the modern era, returning to the influence of estocisimo, to a reformulation of Kantinian impertive given the changes for which contemporary ethics is submitted. On the second point, the question of life ontology highlights the need to recognize the intrinsic value of being organic, ethical thinking beyond anthropocentrism; to recognize the man not only as modifier of nature, but also as an object of their own involvement, reflecting the extent to which the man of the technological society still retains his human essence. Finally, the third phase houses the heuristic method assumed as fear , thinking the responsibility as a political , ethical and collective principle , but above all , a commitment to future generations

This entry briefly examines the major contributions of Hans Baron to the intellectual history of the Italian Renaissance and beyond. It emphasizes Baron’s conception of “civic humanism” and how this concept remains influential even a century after its first introduction.
