Derrida and Inheritance in Environmental Ethics

Více o knize

Focusing on the ethical implications of environmental responsibility, this work critiques the conventional view of intergenerational relationships through the lens of nuclear waste disposal. It surveys existing perspectives on intergenerational responsibility and introduces Jacques Derrida's contributions to future-oriented ethics, emphasizing communication, inheritance, and political responsibilities. The author advocates for an environmental policy that transcends the idea of perpetual presentism, urging a reevaluation of how we engage with future generations in environmental decision-making.
