Ideas of justice have traditionally focused on what individuals owe
to one another and have drawn our attention to what is considered
fair - what one of us owes to another is justly matched by what the
other owes to them. However, what does justice require us to do for
past and future generations? In Justice Back and Forth,
award-winning author Richard Vernon explores the possibility of
justice in cases where time makes reciprocity impossible. This
"temporal justice" is examined in ten controversial cases including
the duty to return historical artifacts, the ethics and politics of
parenting, the punishment of historical offences, the right to
procreate, and the imposition of constitutions on future citizens.
By deftly weaving together discussions on historical redress and
justice for future generations, Vernon reveals that these two
opposing topics can in fact be used to illuminate each other. In
doing so, he concludes that reciprocity can be adapted to serve
intergenerational cases.
