Description

Albert Camus' Reflections on the Guillotine is a powerful critique of capital punishment. Written in 1957, this work remains a compelling argument against the death penalty. In it, Camus challenges the notion of an 'obscene exhibition' and instead advocates for speaking out against abuses that must be reformed or suffering that can be relieved. This Penguin Classics edition features 96 pages of thought-provoking prose, exploring themes of philosophy, ethics, science, and social justice. As part of the Penguin Great Ideas series, this new selection showcases a diverse range of thinkers who have shaped our world today. A timely and thought-provoking read, Reflections on the Guillotine is an essential work for anyone interested in philosophy, politics, or human rights.
