Sobre IBD

The Doctrine of Retribution is a philosophical work written by William Jackson and originally published in 1885. The book consists of eight lectures that explore the concept of retribution from a philosophical perspective. Jackson examines the idea of retribution as it relates to justice, morality, and human nature. He considers various theories of punishment and argues that retribution is a necessary component of a just legal system. Throughout the book, Jackson draws on the works of philosophers such as Immanuel Kant and John Stuart Mill to support his arguments. He also considers the role of religion in shaping the concept of retribution and its influence on society. Overall, The Doctrine of Retribution offers a thought-provoking analysis of a complex and controversial topic. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the philosophy of punishment and the nature of justice.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
