This text reproduces a lecture held at a symposium at Geneva in February 1976 commemorating the 70th birthday of Dietrich Bonhoeffer. It was first published in English in: C.F. von Weizsäcker: The Ambivalence of Progress. (New York: Paragon House, 1988): 263–278; the German original is part of C.F. von Weizsäcker, Der Garten des Menschlichen (München: Hanser Verlag, 1977): 454–478. All rights of the Weizsäcker Bequest were transferred to the Carl Friedrich von Weizsäcker Society, a nonprofit society whose executive chairman, Dr. Bruno Redeker, granted permission on 5 March 2014 to use selected texts of Carl Friedrich von Weizsäcker for this volume.
