Скачать или смотреть Professor David Archard (Queens University Belfast) “Senior Citizens: Rights, Duties and the Old”

2018 Dudley Knowles Lecture in Political Philosophy

It is easy to think of the old as the beneficiaries of collective care at the inequitable expense of others and at the same time as possessed of civic rights – such as that of voting - that are exercised to the detriment of the interests of those who will outlive them. Yet whilst we do have duties to the old there is reasonable disagreement as to the value of longer lives and the place of old age. Such disagreement can only be resolved by political deliberation. The right to vote should not be accorded only on the basis of a principle of affected interests. Moreover, the senior citizen has a particular status, perhaps not one as the repository of accumulated wisdom, but as that of our collective memory.
