Abstract

The article discusses the need for reparations for historic injustices, focusing on the enslavement of Africans, genocide of Indigenous peoples, and ongoing structural injustices. It explores the Temporal Problem, arguing that individuals of European descent in the present have an obligation to repair the wrongs of the past due to shared group association and moral luck. The text also delves into different views on reparations, emphasizing the importance of centering the perspectives of wronged communities and addressing both individual and collective responsibilities in making reparations. The author, Susan Stark, teaches philosophy at Bates College and is working on a project related to reparations for historic injustices. [Extracted from the article]
