Description
The Philosophy of Punishment by Anthony Ellis and Anthony J. Ellis explores a fundamental aspect of justice: punishment. The authors challenge traditional categorizations of theories of punishment, instead focusing on the distinction between internalist and externalist approaches. This nuanced examination delves into the nature of retribution and its relationship to deterrence. By examining these concepts in depth, the book offers a comprehensive understanding of the philosophical underpinnings of punishment. The discussion is grounded in rigorous analysis, making it an invaluable resource for scholars and students alike. This volume is part of the St Andrews Studies in Philosophy and Public Affairs series, which aims to advance the role of philosophy in addressing topics of public importance.
