What sort of obligations do we have concerning future person and generations (who do
not yet exist)? For example, do we have an obligation to ensure future persons and generations exist? As many as
possible? Do we have an obligation to ensure that they are well off? How well off? If we act in a way that prevents the
existence of future persons or generations, have we done wrong? If no, why not? If yes, who have we wronged? Provide
and defend your own answers to one or more of these questions, and then compare your views to one of the following
contemporary philosophers that we have read: Rawls; Kavka, Parfit; Finally, explain what you think one of the following
modern philosophers would say about your view of our obligations to future generations: Kant; Mill; Nietzsche.
