商品描述

This book is an unprecedented consideration of the challenges of what we can do for generations yet to come. Many growing intergenerational conflicts of interest, such as climate change and fiscal sustainability, are the result of the historically new progress of increasing human power, and the resolution of those conflicts demands a new intergenerational ethic. The book offers fresh new ideas for resolving intergenerational conflicts through the exploration of an entirely new field, conceptualized in philosophy, developed in economics, and tested in experiments. In particular, this work develops the theory of intergenerational cooperation based on a new relationship of direct reciprocity between generations. From experimental results, the possibility of intergenerational cooperation through Kantian categorical imperative is shown. The book also examines the effectiveness of inviting representatives of future generations, which are called "imaginary future generations", into the deliberations for current policy decisions.

The original Japanese edition of this book was awarded the 66th Nikkei Prize for Excellent Books in Economic Science. The prize was established in 1958 to contribute to the advancement of academics and knowledge in the fields of economics, management, and accounting, as well as to its general dissemination and application.


商品描述(中文翻譯)

這本書是對我們為尚未出生的後代所能做的挑戰的前所未有的考慮。許多不斷增加的代際利益衝突,如氣候變化和財政可持續性,是歷史上新的人類力量增長的結果,解決這些衝突需要一種新的代際倫理。本書通過在哲學中構思、在經濟學中發展並在實驗中進行測試,提供了解決代際衝突的新思路。具體而言,本書發展了一種基於代際直接互惠關係的代際合作理論。從實驗結果中,我們展示了通過康德的範疇命令實現代際合作的可能性。本書還檢驗了邀請未來代表(被稱為“虛構未來代”)參與當前政策決策的有效性。

該書的日文原版曾獲得第66屆日經經濟科學優秀圖書獎。該獎項於1958年設立,旨在促進經濟學、管理學和會計學等領域的學術和知識發展,以及其普及和應用。
