"The range of positions, arguments, and thinkers covered in Phenomenology of Future Generations is impressive and, in many instances, brings to attention a number of important thinkers in the wider field of intergenerational justice, Levinas here primarily among them. Given that the field of intergenerational justice is mainly dominated by non-Continental references and traditions, this volume will open the door to further intersections among these vantage points."—Nicolas De Warren, author of German Philosophy and the First World War
