Alexander Herzen on Generational Justice - Dictionary of Arguments
Rawls I 291 Generational Justice/Alexander Herzen/Rawls: Herzen's thesis: human development is a kind of chronological unfairness, because the later ones benefit from the work of the former without paying the same price.(1) RawlsVsHearts: these feelings are out of place: the relation is asymmetric, but that can be corrected. First of all, the question of justice does not arise because of the extension of time in only one direction. What can be fair or unfair is the way in which institutions deal with this situation and with historical possibilities. >Justice, >Equality, >Inequalities, >Equal opportunities. If all generations, with the exception of the first, now benefit and everyone inherits from their ancestors, all they have to do is choose a fair saving principle that ensures that future generations will also benefit from their services. The only reciprocity between generations is virtual. However, each generation can regulate the details for itself. >Society, >J. Rawls. 1. Isaiah Berlin (1960).
