Summary

The main goal of the sustainable development project is the well-being of society as well as the preservation of nature. It is recognized that the man – as a moral subject – is responsible and that he is capable of thinking and acting for the future. Philosopher Dieter Birnbacher – the author of the book “Responsibility for future generations” argues that this required man’s capabilities should be only shaped but it is possible in culture conditions where the value is also long-term time, this time that nature works in.
