Description
Hardcover - 208 pages (2023) This book provides a comprehensive examination of intergenerational justice, exploring our duties to future generations and the concept of "justice" in an intergenerational context. Axel Gosseries compares and analyzes various views on what we owe our successors, discussing links between justice and sustainability. The author also considers the implications of our successors' preferences being influenced by what we will leave them and their education, and how these theoretical considerations apply to real-life issues such as pension reform, Brexit, biodiversity, and the climate crisis. A valuable guide for anyone grappling with the moral and political dilemmas of our obligations to the future. This book is an invaluable resource for students, scholars, policy makers, and active citizens seeking a deeper understanding of intergenerational justice and its practical applications.
