Summary

The introduction clarifies why justice between generations should be approached in dialogue among different cultural-philosophical traditions, resulting in the unique crossing of two “inters” -- intercultural philosophy and intergenerational justice. In times of large-scale environmental destabilization, fairness between generations is an urgent issue of justice across time, but it is also a global issue of justice across geographical and nation-state borders. Thus, different philosophical cultures and traditions of thought from around the globe should converse to reflect on what is fair to future people. The introduction details these claims and gives an overview of the volume’s chapters.
