Opis

Do living people owe posterity any obligation? Can we - presently living people - admit to owing remote yet-to-be-conceived people and their world of, say, 200years ahead - the obligation of quality standard of life and opportunities to meet their own needs? Many people do not think we can and should. They vehemently reject such notion of responsibility on the basis of its myriad questions, paradoxes and perplexities. But Martin Heidegger and I think we can and should. And this book gallantly tells why.
