| Inhalt | It is widely recognized that 'sustainable' is a specific evaluation criteria for socio-ecological development. It entails among others future orientation and intergenerational justice to distinguish it from classical development approaches, only focusing on intragenerational justice. However, it is far from being trivial in what respect 'intergenerational' can be operationalized such that plausible and empirically manageable assessment criteria will be available. A lot of difficult questions need to be considered. Do we have moral obligations towards future generations? Why should we care about the future? Do future generations have moral claims? What is the domain of concern: only human beings, or in addition animals, or even ecosystems? And what is the time horizon we take into account? What does the so called non-identity problem tell us? How does the relation between intra- and intergenerational justice look like? There are good reasons not to reduce intergenerational justice to discount rates. But how do alternatives look like? |
| Lernziele | There are two goals for the seminar. First, participants of the seminar will get acquainted with relevant scientific literature on the topic in question and, accordingly, with the arguments presented therein. Second, we will try to identify plausible arguments that are able to give a foundation for developing plausible and empirically manageable sustainability assessment criteria. |
| Literatur | A list will be given at the beginning of the seminar. |
