Against Capital Punishment
Author: Benjamin S. YostPublisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0190901187
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 280
Book Description
The specter of procedural injustice motivates many popular and scholarly objections to capital punishment. So-called proceduralist arguments against the death penalty are attractive to death penalty abolitionists because they sidestep the controversies that bedevil moral critiques of execution. Proceduralists do not shoulder the burden of demonstrating that heinous murderers deserve a punishment less than death. However, proceduralist arguments often pay insufficient attention to the importance of punishment; many imply the highly contentious claim that no type of criminal sanction is legitimate. In Against Capital Punishment, Benjamin S. Yost revitalizes the core of proceduralism both by examining the connection between procedural injustice and the impermissibility of capital punishment and by offering a comprehensive argument of his own which confronts proceduralism's most significant shortcomings. Yost is the first author to develop and defend the irrevocability argument against capital punishment, demonstrating that the irremediability of execution renders capital punishment impermissible. His contention is not that the act of execution is immoral, but rather that the possibility of irrevocable mistakes precludes the just administration of the death penalty. Shoring up proceduralist arguments for the abolition of the death penalty, Against Capital Punishment carries with it implications not only for the continued use of the death penalty in the criminal justice system, but also for the structure and integrity of the system as a whole.

Book Description
Excerpt from An Argument to Prove That Death Is Not Obligatory on Christians The death of our author was supposed to afford an indubitable evidence of the unsoundness of the principles for which, in this work, and in other works of the same kind, published during his life time, he argued whereas, all that the fact proved was that he was prema ture in looking for the results that he so forcibly drew as conclusions from the premises which he laid down. He was, in Short, before his time, in advance of his age and generation the world was not ripe for his conclusions, and consequently they then produced no results save the very unpleasant ones of the persecution and intolerance through which he suffered. The age in which he lived was, in religious matters, one of intolerance and persecution. These were the sole principles of security against error that the Reformed Church had learnt from Mediaeval Romanism; and, when they appeared to be called for, they were exercised with a high hand. There can be no manner of doubt that had not the Church of Rome been thus trodden out in Ireland by penal laws, enacted in conformity with Roman practice, in the reigns of Elizabeth, of the Stuarts, and in those of the three Georges, the Roman Catholic Church would have survived as an established power in this country; and the Chantry Priest of St. Nicholas Within Dublin would have been more likely to be encouraging persecutors to hunt down fanatics of the type of John Asgill, than allowed himself to employ his endowments to secure for the whole world through his teaching, not only the benefit of the principles of literal immortality that Asgill laid hold of, but other supernatural privileges, * which action, in his position as a beneficed clergyman, in an exempt jurisdiction, he is now enabled, with a certain measure of ecclesiastical weight, to submit to the Church in general.

Category : Philosophy

Pages : 251
Book Description
James Warren examines and evaluates the argument that death is 'nothing to us'. He sets this against modern philosophical accounts of how death can be a harm and asks whether a life free from all fear of death is an attractive option and what the consequences would be of a full acceptance of the Epicureans' views.
