In this article, the philosophy of biology of the German philosopher Hans Jonas (1903– –1993) is presented in a concise form. According to this approach, it is necessary to project an anti-reductionist view of the human mind back into the whole evolutionary order, the climax of which is man. In this respect, only man, as embodied subjectivity, is capable of such a retrospective view. A disposition to the emergence of the inwardness of the organism is already contained in material nature itself, and it then develops in the course of evolution by its own powers up to the emergence of the human spirit. It exploits, in this regard, “openings“ in the causal nexus of nature, provided by quantum physics. Jonas is, here, characterised as a panpsychic and an attempt is made to categorise his panpsychism in terms of todays context, both from a philosophical point of view (G. Strawson, D. Chalmers), and a biological one (the phenomena of self‑assembly and self-organisation as sources of “order for free”).

The article presents an subjective vision of human evolution dating back to man’s monkey ancestors. This evolution was very fast took only a few million years. It was started with the transition to the life in an open savannah which created a selection pressure on bipedalism and zooming group. This implied, in turn, the selection pressure on brain development and the growing role of social environment. At a certain stage of development tribes and their culture were formed, and Darwinian evolution was, in the sphere of the mind and customs, replaced by cultural evolution. This evolution was much faster, as it was based on the inheritance of acquired features. Rapid evolution of man was based on positive feedback and did not require the intervention of supernatural powers, such as aliens or God. If God created man, he trusted the mechanisms of evolution, as in the case of other species.
