Abstract
The paper deals with the problem of rational foundation of our moral obligations to future generations, using the key statements of John Rawls’ theory of justice. The Rawls’ theory proposes the so called moral basis for the normative demand, that no generation should inherit less human and natural wealth than the one that preceded it
