| ARTICLES RELATED TO Hans Jonas | | | |  Hans Jonas: Encyclopedia II - Jewish ethics - Jewish family ethicsGreat stress is laid on reverence for parents. Central to society is the nuclear family. Its head is the father; yet the mother as his equal is with him entitled to honor and respect at the hands of sons and daughters.
Monogamy is the ideal (Gen. ii. 24). Marriage within certain degrees of consanguinity or in relations arising from previous conjugal unions is forbidden; chastity is regarded as of highest moment (Ex. xx. 14; Lev. xviii. 18-20); and abominations to which the Canaanites were addicted are especially loathed.
Virtue is believed to flow from the recognition of God, theref ...

| | | | | Hans Jonas: Encyclopedia II - Jewish ethics - Altruistic virtues Honesty and truthfulness are absolutely prerequisite. Stealing, flattery, falsehood, perjury and false swearing, oppression, even if only in holding back overnight the hired man's earnings, are forbidden.
The reputation of a fellow man is sacred (Ex. 21:1). Tale-bearing and unkind insinuations are proscribed, as is hatred of one's brother in one's heart (Lev. 19:17). A revengeful, relentless disposition is unethical; reverence for old age is inculcated; justice shall be done; right weight and just measure are demanded; poverty and riches shall not be regar ...

| | | | | Hans Jonas: Encyclopedia II - Jewish ethics - Prophetic ethics The Biblical prophets exhort all people to lead a righteous life. The ritual elements and sacerdotal institutions incidental to Israel's appointment are regarded as secondary by the preexilic prophets, while the intensely human side is emphasized (Isa. 1:11).
The prophets preached that the people of Israel were chosen by God, not on account of any merit, but as having been "alone singled out" by God; in this view, choseness means that its conduct is under more rigid scrutiny (Amos 3:1-2). Israel is seen as the "wife" (Hosea), or the " ...

| | | | | Hans Jonas: Encyclopedia II - Existentialism - Existentialism before 1970 An early forerunner of existentialism was Blaise Pascal. In 1670, he published the Pensées, in which he described many fundamental themes of existentialism. Pascal argued that without a God, life would be meaningless and miserable. People would only be able to create obstacles and overcome them in an attempt to escape boredom. These token-victories would ultimately become meaningless, since people would eventually die. This was good enough reason not to choose to become an atheist according to Pascal. Sartre takes this idea of avoiding the ...
