A New Reading of Kant's Theory of Punishment Abstract There are deep, insurmountable difficulties with the aditionaltr interpretation of Immanuel Kantâ??s writings on the subject of punishment. Although it is undeniable that throughout his published writings on practical philosophy â?? and in particular in his Metaphysics of Morals â?? he consistently advocates for the view that punishment can only be justified as a direct response to an individualâ??s act of wrongdoing, his status as one of the foremost theorists in the retributivist pantheon is philosophically untenable. In this dissertation, I articulate the ways in which Kantâ??s explicit support for retributivism directly contradicts more foundational elements of his practical philosophy and argue instead that he has the resources to consistently construct a deterrent theory of punishment. In particular, I highlight Kantâ??s division of duties and his conception of the state to demonstrate that the idea of a political community retributively responding to moral desert is wholly incompatible with Kantian principles. In order to overcome these obstacles, I develop a new approach to Kantian deterrence â?? which I call Kantian Protective Deterrence â?? that grounds the stateâ??s right to exercise coercive force against its citizens in what Kant understood to be its fundamental role of protecting each individual citizen from violations of her or his right to exercise external freedoms.

A dissertation is a learning process in more ways than one, and I have been exceptionally fortunate to have so many remarkable teachers. Paul Guyer – my supervisor – not only guided the development of the projeect, but also my development as a philosopher. I also owe a great debt to Samuel Freeman and Adrienne Martin, who served on my committee since its beginning, and to Charles Larmore, who generously contributed to the project the last few years. Their insight and feedback helped to shape the direction and scope of the dissertation, and it is immeasurably better for their input. Finally, I must thank Karen Detlefsen, who regularly went well beyond the call of duty when I was most in need of assistance or guidance. It is hard to overstate the amount I have learned from and relied on my fellow graduate students over the past six years. Chris Melenovksy and Justin Bernstein helped sharpen and refine my understanding of political philosophy, and Wiebke Deimling’s insight into Kant has likewise proved invaluable. I am also forever indebted to Emily Parke, Rob Willison, and Hal Parker, whose friendship and support from my very first day of graduate school made this process far more enjoyable and rewarding than it would have otherwise been. Finally, I would be remiss if I did not recognize that producing a dissertation is as much a personal undertaking as it is an academic one. As such, I am indebted to my parents and to my brothers, John and Michael. And, of course, I cannot possibly describe all I owe to Heather, who not only made any of this possible, but also worthwhile. iv ABSTRACT A NEW READING OF KANT’S THEORY OF PUNISHMENT Robert R. Hoffman Paul Guyer There are deep, insurmountable difficulties with the traditional interpretation of Immanuel Kant’s writings on the subject of punishment. Although it is undeniable that throughout his published writings on practical philosophy – and in particular in his Metaphysics of Morals – he consistently advocates for the view that punishment can only be justified as a direct response to an individual’s act of wrongdoing, his status as one of the foremost theorists in the retributivist pantheon is philosophically untenable. In this dissertation, I articulate the ways in which Kant’s explicit support for retributivism directly contradicts more foundational elements of his practical philosophy and argue instead that he has the resources to consistently construct a deterrent theory of punishment. In particular, I highlight Kant’s division of duties and his conception of the state to demonstrate that the idea of a political community retributively responding to moral desert is wholly incompatible with Kantian principles. In order to overcome these obstacles, I develop a new approach to Kantian deterrence – which I call Kantian Protective Deterrence – that grounds the state’s right to exercise coercive force against its citizens in what Kant understood to be its fundamental role of protecting each individual citizen from violations of her or his right to exercise external freedoms. v Table of Contents 1 Kantian Protective Deterrence: An Introduction 1 1.1 A Changing Scholarship 4 1.2 A New Direction 10 1.3 A ‘Theory’ of Punishment 14 1.4 Outline 20 2 A History of Violence: Punishment and the State in Early Modern Europe 26 2.1 Punishment as a Natural Right 30 2.2 Punishment as a State Construction: The Strict Contractarians 50 2.3 Punishment as a State Construction: The Normativists 67 3 Defining Punishment: Coercion and Right 83 3.1 Kant’s Definition of Punishment 85 3.2 Coercion and the Division of Duties 94 3.3 Allurement and Reward 118 4 Justifying Punishment: Deterring Threats to Freedom 127 4.1 Kant’s Retributivism 130 4.2 Standard Kantian Deterrence 140 4.3 Kantian Protective Deterrence 152 5 The Liability of Punishment: All and Only the Guilty 164 5.1 Liability and Mixed Theories 167 5.2 Punishing Only Those Who Have Done Wrong 177 5.3 Punishing All Those Who Have Done Wrong 184 6 The Methods and Amount of Punishment: Ius Talionis vs. Rehabilitation 194 6.1 The Methods of Punishment 197 6.2 The Amount of Punishment 201 6.3 Alternatives to Ius Talionis 206 6.4 The Formula of Humanity and Rehabilitation 213 6.5 Execution 223 7 Quis Custodiet Ipsos Custodes?: Resisting and Punishing State Authority 231 7.1 Opposing State Power 234 7.2 Punishing Former Authorities 256 7.3 International Punishment 265 Conclusion The Future of Kant’s Theory of Punishment 273 Bibliography 278 vi 1 Kantian Protective Deterrence: An Introduction Immanuel Kant is frequently hailed as the foremost philosopher of the Enlightenment. His work in moral philosophy has inspired a tradition of thinking that still stands as one of the dominant approaches to answering normative questions. The values of unconditional respect for human persons, strict commitment to inviolable rights, and the intrinsic worth of autonomy and agency – all hallmarks of the fragile but precious moral progress in modern times – find unequivocal support and foundation in his writings. The influence of Kant’s insight, originality, and breadth of thought is almost impossible to overstate. His prominence and significance within the history of moral philosophy alone would warrant a careful consideration of Kant’s views on the subject of punishment. As it happens, however, there is additional reason to study his position: namely, Kant’s reputation as one of the central, foundational philosophers of the retributivist school of thought. Retributivism – the belief that punishment is justified as a response to the wrong actions and moral desert of the perpetrator – has persisted as one of the dominant theories of punishment, from the earliest points in human history to today. Kant, in turn, is regularly singled out as the first philosopher in modern times to provide a secular, rather than religious, basis for retributivism. So great is his identification with the retributive view that it is sometimes merely labeled the deontological approach to punishment. 1 Kant’s reputation as a theorist of retributivism is well-earned. In his Metaphysics of Morals, he describes punishment as being justified only when it is an immediate response to an act of criminal wrongdoing: “Punishment can never be inflicted merely as a means to promote some other good for the criminal himself or for civil society. It must always be inflicted upon him only because he has committed a crime” (6:331).1 The state’s response to criminal wrongdoing is analytically necessitated (27:552) and should take the form of ius talionis (the law of retribution): an eye for an eye (6:332). Failure to respond in this way makes a state complicit in the act of wrongdoing, even in such an extreme condition as the state’s dissolution (6:333).

    The Sun of Words Excerpts from Aber ich lebe nur von den Zwischenräumen, an interview between Herbert Gamper and Peter Handke Wednesday April 9th to Saturday April 12th, 1986 On the morning of April 9th, 1986, it was an unusually warm day with the föhn wind blowing, and I met Peter Handke in front of the house where he was living on the Mönchsberg. He first lead me up to the tower, from where one can see down to the southern parts of Salzburg, over the plains and towards the mountains (the Untersberg and the Staufen). I asked him about the Morzger forest, whose southern extremities were visible, and about the nearby area where Loser, the protagonist of Across, lived. He asked whether these settings interested me, and this was what determined the first question I asked after we had gone down to sit at the small table by the well, in the tree-shadows, and I had taken the final, inevitable step, so that the game could begin, and switched on the tape recorder. We regretted that the singing of the chaffinches and the titmice would not be transcribed to paper; again and again it seemed to me ridiculous to pose a question in the middle of this concert. I told of a visit with Thomas Bernhard, many years ago, when, without my asking, he showed me the offices of the lawyer Moro (from the story Ungenach) in Gmunden, as well as the fallen trees infested with bark beetles at the edge of his land that had been reimagined as the General’s forest from the play Die Jagdgesellschaft.

  • 181 Chapter VII a World of Many
    181 Chapter VII A World of Many: Giving up the Belief in the Possibility of Universal Rule (1648/59 – 1714) A Description of the “State” of the Holy Roman Empire Slightly less than twenty years after the treaties of Munster and Osnabrück, the jurist and historian Samuel von Pufendorf (1632 – 1694) clad his description of the Holy Roman Empire into a fictitious travel report. He took the role of a Veronese citizen named Severinus de Monzambano, explaining to his alleged brother the oddities of the form of government of the Empire. The choice of Veronese identity had not been random, as the city of Verona the lay on Venetian territory and, from the fourteenth century, Venice had no longer been considered part of the Empire,1 from the turn towards the sixteenth century even as the foe of the Emperor. Pufendorf explained the form of government of the Empire in historical terms, described the processes by which the centre of rule had shifted from the Italian Peninsula to areas north of the Alps and, at the very beginning of his report, made it clear that the Empire was known by the wrong official name. Instead of “Holy Roman Empire”, it should, Pufendorf insisted, be called the “new state of the Germans”, because it had nothing to do with the ancient empire of the Romans. It was a grave mistake, he wrote, to believe that this ancient empire of the Romans had continued to be in existence. Quite on the contrary, the empire, whose capital the city of Rome had once been, had been destroyed.

  • Threats and Consent
    Wrongs and Crimes Chapter 11 Threats and Consent Note: This is a draft chapter from a long book on criminalization entitled Wrongs and Crimes that I am in the process of completing. It is one of four chapters on consent. I hope that it is reasonably self-standing (though, obviously, all apparent egregious errors are shown to be brilliant insights in other parts of the book). Victor Tadros Threats and deception can undermine valid consent. When do they do so? Why do they do so? What affects the gravity of the resultant wrongdoing? And when should the conduct that the victim does not consent to be criminalized as a result? Although these questions are general I will explore them in the important and difficult realm of wrongful penetrative sex. This chapter is concerned with threats, the next with deception. Work on sexual wrongdoing generates sharp disagreement, not only about what we should think, but also about how we should think about it. Some are hostile to the use of my standard philosophical method in this context, especially the use of unusual hypothetical cases. Using this method, some think, trivializes sexual wrongdoing, or fails to show respect to victims of wrongdoing. In employing this method, I aim at a clearer and deeper grasp of sexual wrongdoing. As we will see, the nature and scope of sexual wrongdoing is by no means obvious. We owe it to victims and potential victims of sexual wrongdoing to use the tools that are best suited to develop a clear and deep grasp of that wrongdoing.

  • Discografía De BLUE NOTE Records Colección Particular De Juan Claudio Cifuentes
    CifuJazz Discografía de BLUE NOTE Records Colección particular de Juan Claudio Cifuentes Introducción Sin duda uno de los sellos verdaderamente históricos del jazz, Blue Note nació en 1939 de la mano de Alfred Lion y Max Margulis. El primero era un alemán que se había aficionado al jazz en su país y que, una vez establecido en Nueva York en el 37, no tardaría mucho en empezar a grabar a músicos de boogie woogie como Meade Lux Lewis y Albert Ammons. Su socio, Margulis, era un escritor de ideología comunista. Los primeros testimonios del sello van en la dirección del jazz tradicional, por entonces a las puertas de un inesperado revival en plena era del swing. Una sentida versión de Sidney Bechet del clásico Summertime fue el primer gran éxito de la nueva compañía. Blue Note solía organizar sus sesiones de grabación de madrugada, una vez terminados los bolos nocturnos de los músicos, y pronto se hizo popular por su respeto y buen trato a los artistas, que a menudo podían involucrarse en tareas de producción. Otro emigrante aleman, el fotógrafo Francis Wolff, llegaría para unirse al proyecto de su amigo Lion, creando un tandem particulamente memorable. Sus imágenes, unidas al personal diseño del artista gráfico Reid Miles, constituyeron la base de las extraordinarias portadas de Blue Note, verdadera seña de identidad estética de la compañía en las décadas siguientes mil veces imitada. Después de la Guerra, Blue Note iniciaría un giro en su producción musical hacia los nuevos sonidos del bebop. En el 47 uno de los jóvenes representantes del nuevo estilo, el pianista Thelonious Monk, grabó sus primeras sesiones Blue Note, que fue también la primera compañía del batería Art Blakey.

  • Inventing Westphalia
    Inventing Westphalia Nicholas Pingitore Senior Thesis Spring, 2020 Advisors: Ethan Shagan and Raphael Murillo Pingitore 1 Introduction The Westphalian Moment, if there ever was one, may quite well have occurred more than 100 years after the signing of the now famous Peace, and in Geneva no less. Writing around 1756, Jean-Jacques Rousseau declared in his treatise, A Lasting Peace Through the Federation of Europe that “the Treaty of Westphalia will perhaps forever remain the foundation of our international system.”1 Prevailing social science lore would find no fault with Rousseau’s logic. Examples abound from the last 70 years of various political theories, international histories, university conferences, even modern military alliances, referencing Westphalia.2 Invariably, there are some differences in how these thinkers frame the importance of Westphalia, but the general mold is familiar enough to any sophomore undergraduate enrolled in a course on international relations.3 It goes as follows: The Thirty Years’ War lasted from 1618-1648. This three-decade-long catastrophe was perhaps Europe’s first modern continental war. While the majority of the conflict took place in central Europe, it drew upon every “great power” resulting in an estimated five to eight million deaths. Modern estimates would suggest that such a toll resulted in a 15–20 percent decline in Europe’s population.4 By 1 Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Translated by C.E. Vaughan, A Lasting Peace Through The Federation of Europe and The State of War, London: Constable and Company Limited, 1917, p. 55. 2 Javier, Solana. “Securing Peace in Europe.” Speech presented at the Symposium on the Political Relevance of the 1648 Peace of Westphalia, Münster, Germany, November 12, 1998.

They practice creativ- ity and learn strategies for solving problems, designing projects, and communicating ideas. However, children with visual impairments cannot access most programming experiences designed for beginners. This deprives these children of the chance to play with expressing themselves through programs that they design and create themselves. In this paper, we introduce Codi, a software agent that children can talk to in order to create, play, modify, and explore programs built using natural language. Through the design and implementation of Codi, I explore how agent-based programming in- terfaces can make programming accessible to children with visual impairments and multiple disabilities.

  • John Dewey's Legacy for the 21 Century
    John Dewey's Legacy for the 21st Century Larry A. Hickman Center for Dewey Studies Southern Illinois University Carbondale Why would anyone today think that John Dewey's ideas are still relevant to the problems of the second decade of the 21st century? For one thing, the six decades since his death in 1952 have seen enormous technical, demographic, climatic, economic, and cultural changes, to name just a few. For another, at the time of death his ideas had already been out of fashion for more than a decade. Nor would they get much in the way of respect during the remainder of the 20th century. Nostalgia aside, do we have any good reasons for continuing to read Dewey with an eye to our current situation? Tracing Lines of Intellectual Influence. Historians of philosophy and intellectual historians might answer this question by reminding us that there is still much that we do not understand about Dewey's role in the history of philosophy, and more specifically about his contributions to the development of American pragmatism and the philosophy of education. Examination of the ways his ideas relate to those of Peirce, James, Mead, Addams, and others, and especially to the many female teachers and school principals who were his collaborators and, as he said, his inspiration as well – all of this holds the promise of expanding our understanding not only of the past, but of our present and future as well. Lines of influence between Dewey and William James, for example are at this point far from clear. Since Dewey was not particularly keen on preserving his correspondence, the entire known extant James/Dewey correspondence comprises only 26 letters.

  • Know Your Rights When Reporting Wrongs
    KNOW YOUR RIGHTS WHEN REPORTING WRONGS Whistleblower disclosures can save lives as well as billions of taxpayer dollars. They play a critical role in keeping our government honest, efficient and accountable. Recognizing that whistleblowers root out waste, fraud and abuse, and protect public health and safety, federal laws strongly encourage employees to disclose wrongdoing. Federal laws also protect federal employees from retaliation. The U.S. Office of Special Counsel (OSC) plays an important role in helping whistleblowers. OSC is an independent agency that protects federal employees from prohibited personnel practices (PPPs), including whistleblower retaliation and unlawful hiring practices, such as nepotism. OSC also provides an independent, secure channel for disclosing and resolving wrongdoing in federal agencies. This guide provides a summary of whistleblower protections and avenues available to employees to disclose wrongdoing. For more information, please visit OSC’s website at www.osc.gov. Disclosures of Wrongdoing Where can I report wrongdoing? Current and former federal employees and applicants (henceforth “federal employees”) can report on any of the following types of wrongdoing: • a violation of any law, rule, or regulation, • gross mismanagement, • a gross waste of funds, • an abuse of authority, • a substantial and specific danger to public health or safety, or • censorship related to scientific research if censorship meets one of the above-listed categories. Federal employees have many options on where to disclose wrongdoing, including but not limited to, making disclosures to supervisors or someone higher up in management; the agency’s Inspector General (IG); OSC; or, Congress.
