The problem of intergenerational justice is among the most
important issues in contemporary politics. Yet contemporary
philosophers and political theorists have had great difficulty
coming to grips with the nature and extent of our intergenerational
obligations. This book examines the historical roots of
intergenerational justice and analyzes this concept critically.
Contemporary approaches are critiqued for their inability to
address adequately such essential intergenerational questions as
whether, and under what circumstances, we have an obligation to
perpetuate the human species, the moral implications of our power
to affect the identity of future persons, and the nature of our
obligations to the dead. The concluding chapters propose a broader
understanding of intergenerational justice and the moral necessity
of establishing a tradition of just intergenerational action as our
legacy to posterity.
