Justice, Posterity, and the Environment

About this book

Most of the questions that are asked by philosophers are the sort that children are frequently asking, like 'How can I know that I am not really dreaming?' or 'What is fairness?' Children frequently complain that it is not 'fair' that they cannot stay up late to watch the TV, or that they are given less pocket money than some children, or a smaller portion of ice-cream than somebody else, and so on.
