Summary In the Anthropocene increasingly dramatic changes for the state of planet Earth occurred due to the consequences of industrialisation. The global economy and human behaviour also led to environmental stress and damage in the limited Earth system. A rethink in many areas must take place to avoid further consequences. Because of the importance of chemistry also in the future, ethics must be anchored as a moral value system. This is where scientists are called upon through their responsibility in applying the results of science. Sustainability is also important for the preservation of the regenerative capacity of ecosystems and the careful use of resources. It is necessary that schools and universities deal with ethics in chemistry in connection with moral, responsibility and sustainability. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Die Figur des ‹Homo digitalis› kann als anthropologische Resonanz angesehen werden auf die seit einigen Jahren intensiv geführten Debatten um die digitale Transformation von Technologien und Medienkonstellationen. Bio-, Nano- und Geo-Technologien dringen weit in das vor, was bislang als ‹Natur› galt und was die menschlichen Ressourcen und seine Umwelt bezeichnet hat, aber auch seinen eigenen kreatürlichen Anteil. Die humanen Möglichkeiten werden dabei so weit über ihre Grenzen hinaus verschoben, dass sie als Auflösungserscheinungen des ‹homo sapiens› wahrgenommen werden. Mit der anthropologischen Figur des ‹Homo digitalis› lassen sich zum einen damit verbundene Befürchtungen in den Blick nehmen, zum anderen ist sie eingebunden in Gegenwartsdiagnosen, mit deren Begriffen ‹Anthropozän›, ‹Posthumanismus› oder auch ‹kybernetischer Naturzustand› sich jeweils unterschiedliche Aussagen über die Stellung des Menschen verbinden. Die ‹Genese› des ‹Homo digitalis› lässt sich über die Rekonstruktion der historischen Reflexion über (Körper- und Geist-)Maschinen als ‹Spiegel des Menschen› nachzeichnen. Anhand von zwei aktuellen Theoriesprachen lassen sich sowohl die besondere Morphologie des ‹Homo digitalis› als auch die Rolle seiner Spezies angesichts der Gleichzeitigkeit von Technologisierung und Umweltzerstörung aufklären. Eine kybernetische bzw. medienökologische Perspektive macht dabei deutlich, dass es keine Zeit vor der Verbindung von Mensch und Maschine gegeben hat, der Weg hinter die Technisierung ‹zurück› also eine Illusion ist. Darauf baut auch eine posthumanistische Perspektive auf, wenn sie neue Beschreibungsweisen für die Wahrnehmung des techno-sozialen Zusammenhangs entwickelt, um die spezifischen Konstellationen und Bedingungen zu erhellen, in denen sich der ‹Homo digitalis› bewegt.

Practical Theology today is inescapably and urgently conducted in the shadow of global climate emergency. This is made more acute by the emergence of the concept of 'Anthropocene', or the recognition that climate change is now being decisively driven by human intervention. This article explores aspects of contemporary 'cli-fi' culture which have emerged in response to environmental crisis. In their use of the language of 'apocalypse' to frame the nature of climate emergency, they carry strong resonances with Biblical literature and Christian theology. Can a dialogue between these different genres generate constructive theological wisdom that might direct us towards more equitable and sustainable ways of living? [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
