    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.Obligations between persons can perpetually generate new duties through compound interest, inheritance, and intergenerational harm.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Historical injustices create debts that accumulate infinitely across time without natural termination points or statute of limitations.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Moral debts (unlike financial ones) lack objective metrics for settlement, making them theoretically endless and immeasurable.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    1 perspective
    Reason against
    ?
    • 1.Any actual debt requires identifiable creditor and debtor; infinite debts dissolve these relations into abstract, unenforceable claims.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Practical justice requires finite settlement terms; infinite debt creates paralysis and prevents genuine reconciliation or closure.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Empirically, all historical debts have been discharged, forgiven, or abandoned—suggesting infinity is theoretical, not actual.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
