German Idealism and the Concept of Punishment - Modern European Philosophy
Merle, Jean-Christophe (Universitat des Saarlandes, Saarbrucken, Germany)
This original study examines the views of Kant, Fichte and Hegel on punishment, and traces in their work the gradual emergence of views in favour of deterrence and resocialisation. Merle also examines Nietzsche's view that morality rests on the rejection of retribution.
