Distributive justice relies on metaphors about spatial distribution. Modelling cross-temporal relations on cross-spatial relations in this way obscures how earlier groups become the later ones. Procedural justice metaphors rely on metaphors of (contemporaneous) contract and thereby on impartial reasoning. Their dominance is already problematic in the case of contemporary relations, but is even more so in the case of relations across time, where the conditions for later parties are controlled and created by earlier ones. Future generations should not be thought of as a distinct group living at a different temporal “location,” but as who we will become. Thus, the frame of “justice” is much less appropriate for our relations to them than the frame of “care”.

超越正义-为未来护理伦理创造空间

分配正义依赖于关于空间分布的隐喻。以这种方式在跨空间关系上建立跨时间关系模型，会掩盖较早的群体成为较晚的群体的方式。程序正义的隐喻依靠（同时代）契约的隐喻，从而依靠公正的推理。在当代关系的情况下，它们的统治地位已成问题，但在跨时间的关系的情况下，甚至更是如此，在这种关系下，较晚的政党的条件由较早的政党控制和创造。后代不应被视为生活在不同时间“位置”的不同群体，而应被视为我们将成为谁。因此，“正义”的框架比“关怀”的框架更不适合我们与他们之间的关系。
