  • Title: Equality between age-groups.
    Author: McKerlie D.
    Journal: Philos Public Aff; 1992; 21(3):275-95. PubMed ID: 11652071.
    Abstract:
    The first part of the article considers what proponents of the most familiar egalitarian moral theories would say about age-group inequality. I claim that these theories have intuitively objectionable consequences. The second part explains and criticizes a theory of justice formulated specifically for age-groups: Norman Daniels' prudential lifespan account. In the third part I explain two views that seem to me to give a better account of justice between the young and the old.
