Jahr’s now famous article ‘Bio-Ethik. Eine Umschau über die ethischen Beziehungen des Menschen zu Tier und Pflanze‘ served as an Editorial in the leading German science journal ‚Kosmos. Handweise für Naturfreunde und Zentralblatt für das naturwissen-schaftliche Bildungs- und Sammelwesen‘. He discusses most recent results of neurophysiology and psychological studies on plants and animals and presents Bio-Ethics as a new academic discipline and a new moral attitude corresponding with the term Bio-Psychik, used by philosopher and psychologist Rudolf Eisler as the newly developing
soul science of all forms of life.
