Mardi intime de la Chaire Hoover par Devon Cass

Theories of intergenerational justice--specifically those focused on duties between non-overlapping generations--have tended to focus on a narrow range of concerns, e.g., wellbeing under various interpretations. With that in mind, I want to examine the following question: does the ideal of freedom as non-domination apply to relationships between present and future people? I argue it does not, critiquing a recent defence of the idea. In doing so, I aim to clarify the nature of non-domination and distinguish it from other ‘relational’ concerns of justice that I believe are more compelling in the intergenerational context.
