Abstract
Humanity is facing an âanthropic dilemmaâ: if the life is so rare in the universe, considering how many problems limit its rise, why our universe seems âjust rightâ to host life? At the moment, the anthropic dilemma still lacks the right answer and, starting from our empirical evidences, it postulates the uniqueness of the Mankind, the sole intelligent life form able to understand and contemplate the Universe. Such a postulate it's here called "anthropic postulate". This postulate imposes that Hans Jonas' moral responsibility must comprehend the humanity as a whole, present and future generations. The plausible uniqueness, or at least the extreme rarity of the human experience, entails the burden of its preservation from any kind of lethal menace. Given the extremely high vulnerability of our planet, the timeline of such a responsibility should be prolonged 'till the time when humanity will be able to face an exodus towards the outer space, out of the solar system. So, it is possible to postulate the following "anthropic imperative": itâs necessary to undertake all the actions to guarantee the undefined survival of the mankind through time. The anthropic program presented in this paper is a first proposal aimed to find challenges and possible solution to the fulfilment of this imperative.
