Non-Identity Problem and the Ethics of Future People

Book • 2014
This book delves into the non-identity problem, a central issue in population ethics that questions moral obligations to future people.

Boonin systematically examines various attempts to resist the problem's premises and concludes by arguing that the seemingly implausible conclusion may align more closely with common moral intuitions than initially thought.

The work provides a comprehensive analysis of the problem's complexities and its relevance across multiple philosophical disciplines.
