摘要

A good life—whether dedicated to pleasure, happiness, meaning, or certain objectively valuable goals—is generally understood to be self-determined. The passage of time plays virtually no role. However, this premise does not seem to apply to children, given that the temporal nature of a child’s existence is an indisputable fact. Since children are thoroughly temporal beings, it is only natural to assume that a good childhood is one that leads to a good future. This perspective on childhood has contributed to the popularity of the philosophical concept of the ‘right to an open future’. However, Feinberg himself emphatically warned against oversimplifying the formula. He emphasised the interconnectedness of the present and the future. A good life for children is one in which they are given the opportunity to shape their own lives, both now and in the future.
