Intergenerational Justice

Editat de Axel Gosseries, Lukas H. Meyer
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 21 mai 2009
Is it fair to leave the next generation a public debt? Is it defensible to impose legal rules on them through constitutional constraints? From combating climate change to ensuring proper funding for future pensions, concerns about ethics between generations are everywhere. In this volume sixteen philosophers explore intergenerational justice. Part One examines the ways in which various theories of justice look at the matter. These include libertarian, Rawlsian, sufficientarian, contractarian, communitarian, Marxian and reciprocity-based approaches. In Part Two, the authors look more specifically at issues relevant to each of these theories, such as motivation to act fairly towards future generations, the population dimension, the formation of preferences through education and how they impact on our intergenerational obligations, and whether it is fair to rely on constitutional devices.

Recenzii

Without a doubt, Intergenerational Justice opens new avenues for reflection and action, particularly on the reductions of greenhouse gas emissions and on the possibility of a perpetual constitution. The book reflects the urgent need to consider and propose solutions that can respond, even partially, to such a complex problem.
I believe that this volume is indispensable reading for researchers and students working in the area of intergenerational justice. It offers a detailed description of the main philosophical approaches to intergenerational justice, revealing their respective weaknesses and strengths.
a comprehensive work that will be useful to all scholars with an interest in modern population ethics... the book constitutes a very significant contribution to an overall topic which - due to the fact that it is both theoretically challenging and practically highly pertinent - seems destined to constitute a continuously expanding sub-field of ethics.
a stimulating book ... the essays collected offer a high-quality analysis of the various problems underpinning intergenerational justice.
