Beschreibungen

<P>Responsibility and Punishment, Third Edition presents a clear-headed defense of retributivism against several long-standing criticisms. In the end, a viable version of retributivism emerges as one which withstands more criticism than competing theories of responsibility and punishment. Extending the problem of wrong doing to collectives and compensation, Corlett explores the matter of reparations for past wrongs in the case of the crimes committed against Native Americans by the United States Government. No other philosophical work on responsibility and punishment exhibits this breadth of scope, as it delves deeply into particular concerns with retributivism, responsibility, and certain areas of compensation. Academicians and professionals in ethics, moral, social, political, and legal philosophy are likely to benefit from this analytical treatment of responsibility and punishment.</P>
The Problem Of Responsibility.- The Problem Of Punishment.- Foundations Of A Kantian Retributivism.- Assessing Retributivism.- Forgiveness, Apology, And Retributive Punishment.- Capital Punishment.- The Problem Of Collective Responsibility.- Corporate Responsibility And Punishment.- Collective Wrongdoing, Reparations, And Native Americans.- Conclusion.

<P>"In the Third Edition of Responsibility and Punishment, Angelo Corlett has made an outstanding book even better! Corlett's book is distinctive in the way it blends abstract theory with concrete application in a sophisticated way. There is work just on theory, and primarily applied work; but Corlett manages to meld the two in a unique and highly successful way. Highly recommended!"</P>
<P><EM>John Martin Fischer, author of "The Metaphysics of Free Will" and "Responsibility and Control". </EM></P>
<P>"This provocative and highly insightful piece of work constitutes a novel, significant, and welcome contribution to the literature on the moral justification of punishment. Corlett's development of an original version of retributivism, with special emphasis on principles of proportional punishment, is particularly engaging."</P>
