Kant's philosophy - Criminal right
from Kant's Philosophy · host The Voice of Reason
The criminal right is an important part of the doctrine of right. It's all the more unfortunate that in Kant's work it's utterly insufficient: He supports a punishment of avangement which is to reinstitute the justice broken by the crime. In this he loses sight of the proper task of right: To secure the freedom of men.Quote: 0:08Kant's criminal right is useless: 0:46Punishment should not be arbitrary but necessary: 12:54Punishment may also but never exclusively be pragmatic punishment: 16:33Critique of Kant's criminal right: 34:25- Kant doesn't apply his own principle consistently: 44:01- Kant wants to retain the dignity of the punished and the punisher but fails to do so: 50:09- Kant mixes up ethics and right: 1:07:54Thanks: 1:33:33Criminal right Kant discusses mainly in his Metaphysics of Morals: https://ld.circuitdebater.org/w/archive_files/%5BImmanuel_Kant%5D_Kant_The_Metaphysics_of_Morals.pdf/507955836/%5BImmanuel_Kant%5D_Kant_The_Metaphysics_of_Morals.pdf.Whoever wants to support my aufkläring work can do so via:https://ko-fi.com/jonathanivoloewerhttps://www.patreon.com/jonathanivoloewerhttps://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=VDDT7T7XHR77UThumbnail: www.hotpot.ai
