Hans Jonas e a filosofia da vida: Ontologia, biologia e fenomenologia

This paper intends to present the general lines of what would be the philosophy of life developed by Hans Jonas special in his work The Phenomenon of Life, from 1966. To do so, the ontological, biological and phenomenological elements will be recovered to promote an analysis that starts from the Jonasian critique of the traditional interpretation of life in the philosophical and scientific realm, which is opposed to its ontological revolution, based on the conception of an integral monism. From there, the concept of psychophysical unity and freedom will be analyzed as the guiding thread of this interpretation, which achieves the recovery of teleology as a self-affirming action of life itself.
