Abstract: The theory of intergenerational justice is an important theory in contemporary political philosophy, of which utilitarianism is one of the important perspectives to analyze theory of intergenerational justiceThe egalitarian background embodied in the utilitarian concepts of impartiality and time neutrality provides a good starting point for people to analyze theory of intergenerational justiceHowever, regardless of the overall utilitarianism that focuses on overall utility or the average utilitarianism that focuses on average utility, the explanation of intergenerational justice is unconvincing, and the utilitarian theory of intergenerational justice is facing a dilemmaIt may not only be unable to accommodate some special obligations that people must undertake, but also may unreasonably discount the interests of future generations
