  • Homo faber in front of the riddle of the end of human life
    Globokar, Roman
    In the context of contemporary bioethical debates, this article explores the figure of homo faber – modern man as master of nature and himself – and his response to the mystery of death. Drawing on ... the thought of Hannah Arendt and Hans Jonas, we examine how the desire to either prolong life indefinitely or to anticipate death through euthanasia reflects the same technocratic impulse: the need to control life’s end. Both extremes – therapeutic zeal and euthanasia – are analyzed as expressions of the same anthropological paradigm. In contrast, the Catholic understanding of human life emphasizes its giftedness, vulnerability, and intrin-sic dignity. Through ethical reflection on key magisterial texts, a moral framework emerges that respects life without idolizing biological survival and supports the patient’s conscience in situations of great complexity. The article proposes a relational and holistic approach to dy-ing, grounded in Christian anthropology and oriented toward personal fulfillment and spiritual readiness for death.
