Rethinking limits: ecology and intergenerational ethics

Repensar los límites: ecología y ética intergeneracional

Repensando os limites: ecologia e ética intergeracional

Abstract

The focus of this work is to explore the idea of limits within certain scopes where they arguably matter most: those of intergenerational justice and a prospective ethics of the future. When limits are conceived in a nuanced and emancipatory way - as the autonomy and capability to place limits in the current context of environmental crisis, while taking into account our finite nature - the possibility arises to build a concept of responsibility that cares for the well-being of present and future generations.

Keywords:
Limits; Ecology; Responsibility; Intergenerational Justice.
