Abstract: Intergenerational justice has in recent decades become an increasingly important subfield of political philosophy.However, due to the absence of coexistence and other aspects of the intergenerational context, it is often unclear whether and how many ideals of justice apply.As such, relational egalitarianism -the view that justice requires equal social relationships -may appear particularly implausible in this domain.In this introduction, we explain this issue, motivating its further examination.Finally, we briefly summarize how the papers in this volume take up this challenge and offer insightful developments on both fronts, advancing our understanding of intergenerational justice and relational egalitarianism.
