In this paper I seek to respond to some of the critiques and remarks raised by the authors invited by the journal Etica & Politica / Ethics & Politics to discuss my book on intergenerational justice Lo scandalo del futuro. Per una giustizia intergenerazionale (Roma, 2016). In engaging these critical reviews coming from the perspective of different fields – especially, legal philosophy, ethics and theoretical philosophy – I also attempt to readdress some pivotal points of the book which need be better formulated, deepened and revised.
