Ageing without Ageism? contributes to the essential and timely
discussion of age, ageism, population ageing, and public policy. It
demonstrates the breadth of the challenges posed by these issues by
covering a wide range of policy areas: from health care to old-age
support, from democratic participation to education, and from
family to fiscal policy. With contributions from 21 authors the
discussion bridges the gap between academia and public life by
putting in dialogue fresh philosophical analysis and specific new
policy proposals. It approaches familiar issues like age
discrimination, justice between age groups, and democratic
participation across the ages from novel perspectives.
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.
