Sobre IBD

On some accounts, punishment is justified by the good results that it brings about. In particular, punishment deters, incapacitates, and may, in some cases, rehabilitate criminals. On a retributivist theory, punishment is not justified on the basis of these desirable results, but rather on the fact that the wrongdoer has done something that deserves punishment.

  • Morality Collapses
    Stephen Kershnar

In particular, it argues that what people do is neither right nor wrong and that they are neither praiseworthy nor blameworthy for doing it.  Morality and moral responsibility lie at the heart of how we view the world.
