Which philosophy – utilitarianism, communitarianism, or deontology – is the best at dealing with “the problem of future generations”? Answering this question helps to understand how, and whether, you are morally bound to future persons. Please develop your answer in the following way, with reference to the article on “Future Generations” by Ernest Partridge.
(a.) Explain at least two reasons we might not have any moral ties to future generations at all.
(b.) Explain how one of the listed philosophies helps to account for an appropriate moral consideration for future persons.
(c.) Finally, explain whether, in your opinion, the demand to reduce greenhouse gas emissions today is best framed as a moral obligation to future generations, or whether some other moral obligation is more compelling (for example, to our own safety and security, or to sentient animals, or to endangered species, or to the earth or all life in general).
