Time 时间: 918日(Sept. 18)周二 14:00 -15:30

Venue地点: Rm. 2301, 光华西主楼(Western Guanghua Tower

 

In this lecture I attempt to describe a problem that is both neglected and important. This is the problem of systematically distinguishing between legitimate and illegitimate expectations. I will discuss it in the light of a specific context where I believe the problem exists, namely climate change and the transformation to a low-carbon economy and society. Second, I sketch three theories of normative authority that each allows me to make this systematic distinction. And, finally, I argue that legitimate expectations with respect to a just and effective solution to climate change have normative significance in that they ought to be taken into account when delineating what could count as such a solution and a fair distribution of the costs of adapting to the conditions that will hold when such a solution is implemented.
