Soft cover. Zustand: Near Fine. 1st Edition. Trade paperback in Near-Fine condition, 8vo, 217 pages. Illustrated black stiff wrappers, references, index. First paperback edition. Light wear. Bookseller accession no.: 23700. From a review in "Ethics", January 2003, "Can a theory of intergenerational justice make any sense? This is the key question addressed by Beckerman and Pasek's new book. In the first section, they claim that since future people do not currently exist, they cannot have moral rights now. Moreover, the fact that they could have rights in the future does not suffice to justify imposing on us obligations toward them." "Admittedly, Beckerman and Pasek do not deny that "we have a moral obligation to take account of the interests of future generations in our policies"." An interesting discussion.…

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. In rich countries, environmental problems are seen as problems of prosperity. In poor countries they are seen as problems of poverty. This is because the environmental problems in poor countries, such as lack of clean drinking water, are problems that affect them here and now, whereas in rich countries the environmental problems that people worry about most are those that-largely as a result of prosperity and economic growth-seem likely to harm mainly futuregenerations.But what exactly are our obligations to future generations? Are these determined by their 'rights', or intergenerational justice, or equity, or 'sustainabledevelopment'? The first part of the book argues that none of these concepts provides any guidance, but that we still have a moral obligation to take account of the interests that future generations will have. And an appraisal of probable developments suggests that, while environmental problems have to be taken seriously, our main obligation to future generations is to bequeath to them a society in which there is greater respect for basic human rights than is the case today.Furthermore, generations are not homogeneous entities. Resources devoted to environmental protection cannot be used for, say, health care or education or housing, not to mention the urgent claimsin poor countries for better food, sanitation, drinking water, shelter, and basic infrastructures to prevent or cure widespread disease. It cannot serve the interests of justice if the burden of protecting the environment for the benefit of posterity is born mainly by poorer people today.
