However, what does justice require us to do for past and future generations?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eJustice Back and Forth,\u003c\/em\u003e award-winning author Richard Vernon explores the possibility of justice in cases where time makes reciprocity impossible. This “temporal justice” is examined in ten controversial cases including the duty to return historical artifacts, the ethics and politics of parenting, the punishment of historical offences, the right to procreate, and the imposition of constitutions on future citizens. By deftly weaving together discussions on historical redress and justice for future generations, Vernon reveals that these two opposing topics can in fact be used to illuminate each other. In doing so, he concludes that reciprocity can be adapted to serve intergenerational cases.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePart I: Looking Back\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.  Should We Worry About Presentism?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2.
