Why choose this project topic?
The problem of the justification of environmental obligations to people not yet born offers a clear debate with competing reasons and possible objections. A limited set of primary readings and carefully explained cases helps you develop an independent argument rather than simply summarising philosophers.
Which conclusions about the justification of environmental obligations to people not yet born are justified by critical examination of philosophical work on intergenerational justice and public development-policy arguments?
Choose the main philosophical interlocutors and a small set of cases, then narrow the argument about the justification of environmental obligations to people not yet born.
Proposed project objectives
- 01Clarify the key concepts involved in the justification of environmental obligations to people not yet born.
- 02Reconstruct the competing arguments in philosophical work on intergenerational justice and public development-policy arguments.
- 03Analyse non-identity objections, resource stewardship and discounting assumptions using bounded hypothetical choices.
A suggested research approach
Select accessible editions of philosophical work on intergenerational justice and public development-policy arguments and define the central terms before defending a position. Analyse non-identity objections, resource stewardship and discounting assumptions using bounded hypothetical choices. Make premises explicit, address a strong objection to the preferred account, and distinguish hypothetical illustrations from factual evidence.
What you will need
- Lawful access to philosophical work on intergenerational justice and public development-policy arguments
- An argument map addressing the justification of environmental obligations to people not yet born
- A supervisor-agreed philosophical framework and complete citation records
Keep your project scope clear
Normative reasoning does not supply environmental impact measurements or predict future preferences.
