| 总结: | In this book, David Boonin examines the problem of punishment,
particularly the problem of explaining why it is morally permissible
for the state to treat those who break the law differently from those
who do not. Boonin argues that there is no satisfactory solution to
this problem and that the practice of legal punishment should
therefore be abolished. Providing a detailed account of the nature
of punishment and the problems that it generates, he offers a
comprehensive and critical survey of the various solutions that have
been offered to the problem and concludes by considering victim
restitution as an alternative to punishment. Written in a clear and
accessible style, The Problem of Punishment will be of interest both to
anyone looking for a critical introduction to the subject and to
anyone who is already familiar with it. |
