Green nudges, metacognition and rational agency. Do energy defaults undermine individual autonomy
We define climate-change-responsive behaviors (CRBs) as explicit individual behaviors that directly result in a reduction of emissions. At present, the election of greener energy tariffs is a CRB well worth encouraging, and energy defaults have proved remarkably effective in achieving this goal. According to an apparently compelling objection, however, defaults would seriously undermine our rational agency, and their use in policy should therefor…
Discharging the moral responsibility for collective unjust enrichment in the global economy
In this article we wonder how a person can discharge the political responsibility for supporting and benefiting from unjust social structures. Firstly, we introduce the concept of structural injustice and defend it against three possible objections: ‘explanatory nationalism’, a diachronic interpretation of the benefits of industry-led growth, being part of a social structure does not automatically mean being responsible for its negative consequen…
Compensation for Energy Infrastructures
In this article, we deal with the evaluation of the losses suffered by persons living in urban areas as a result of energy services. In the first part, we analyse how by adopting different informational foci we obtain contrasting interpersonal evaluations regarding the same loss. In the second part, we distinguish between a diachronic and a hypothetical/moralised threshold for harm in order to assess whether individuals are benefiting from or bei…
Beyond a diachronic indifference? Grounding the normative commitment towards intergenerational justice
In this essay, we aim at framing the ‘negative emotion’ of indifference, starting from its diachronic declination, which seems to beneficiate from a form of justification from the moral point of view (§1). In order to prevent indifference as an outcome – together with its intrinsic motivational strength –, we introduce a methodological account to frame the struggle of motivation internal to the single agent, by classifying different forms of ‘rea…

Exclusion, Transition, and Recognition
The paper intends to explore three archetypes of possible interaction between the agent and the social space in which one's own action is located. In this article, we will talk about modalities endowed with normative significance, that is focused around universal scopes and extra-contextual validities (values). Special attention will be paid to the dimension of the "intersection of social spaces" (the scheme assumes both the permanent dimension o…
Overcoming the motivational gap
The paper frames the issue of intergenerational justice by addressing an historical source and a theoretical difficulty. In relation to the historical point of view, the paper offers a preliminary re-reading of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights aimed at revealing the intergenerational commitment that lies behind it (§1). In addressing the second point, it presents the issue of intergenerational justice from a phenomenological perspective …
Rethinking community in the aftermath of communitarianism
Three decades after it arose, the contemporary Communitarianism and the questions it raised still appear to beworthy of serious attention. In an attempt to confront this legacy, the first part of the present essay seeks to propose aredefinition of the concept of community. It does so by setting itself two key phenomenological questions, which areboth devoted to the concept of sharing. The first question asks how something can be shared amongst mu…
