ABSTRACT Some have recently argued that the current generation dominates future generations by causing long-term climate change. They relate these claims to Philip Pettit and Frank Lovett’s neorepublican theory of domination. In this paper, I examine their claims and ask whether the neorepublican conception of domination remains theoretically coherent when the relation is between current agents and nonoverlapping future subjects. I differentiate between an ‘outcome’ and a ‘relational’ conception of domination. I show how both are theoretically coherent when extended to posterity but only if we make different definitional and normative choices than those made by Pettit and Lovett.

新共和主义与后代统治

摘要最近有人争论说，当代人通过引起长期的气候变化而支配着后代。他们将这些主张与菲利普·佩蒂特和弗兰克·洛维特的新共和制统治理论联系起来。在本文中，我研究了他们的主张，并询问当当前主体与不重叠的未来主体之间的关系时，新共和制的统治概念在理论上是否保持一致。我将“结果”和“关系”统治概念区分开。我将展示当扩展到后代时两者在理论上是如何连贯的，但前提是我们做出的定义和规范选择与佩蒂特和洛维特所做的选择和规范选择不同。
