Q
What is the Non reciprocity problem? ( Page, 2006)
A
1). Members of future generations cannot engage in activities that will have an impact upon people currently alive.
2). Reciprocity exists between agents who can interact with each other through some direct causal pathway.
3). Duties of justice exist only between agents who can reciprocate each other’s actions.
Conclusion:
People currency alive have no duties of justice to members of future generations.
