Research Abstract

The aim of this project is to find a fundamental form of alternative intergenerational ethics in sustainable relations between natural world and human society on recognizing that intergenerational ethics(obligations to future generations)argued in eastern world is invalid.
In the first place, I have examined in detail some important arguments of intergenerational ethics(obligations to future generations)in eastern world, which have been argued by M.Golding, D. Callahan, D. Parfit and so on. And I have clarified the intergenerational ethics in eastern world to be not operative.
In the second, to think in which way ethics become operative really, I have paid attention to labors-in-nature which have been almost lost nowadays and have disclosed that those labors generate the sustainable relations between natural world and human society, and that labor-powers-beyond-nature which are driven by fossil fuel deprive people of those labors. At the same time, I have suggested that the cooperative, historical and skillful sides in those labors are significant moments of human beings and that they are very important on constructing the sustainable relations between natural world and human society.
In the third, I have explored in which way generational ethics as the sustainable relations between natural world and human society become operative. In this exploration, I have taken shouwa-30-period(in that labors-in-nature are in abundance, and that is a starting point of society which is worried about environmental issues)as a concrete example, and I have made it clear to be able to give some concrete example of intergenerational ethics as the sustainable relations between natural world and human society by re-reading carefully this shouwa-30-period in view of today's problems.
