Book Overview
This book presents a lucid defense of retributivism against several long-standing criticisms. Extending the problem of wrong doing to collectives and compensation, Corlett explores the matter of reparations for past wrongs in the case of the crimes committed against Native Americans by the United States Government. No other philosophical work on responsibility and punishment exhibits this breadth of scope, as it delves deeply into particular concerns with retributivism, responsibility, and certain areas of compensation.
"In the Third Edition of Responsibility and Punishment, Angelo Corlett has made an outstanding book even better Corlett's book is distinctive in the way it blends abstract theory with concrete application in a sophisticated way. There is work just on theory, and primarily applied work; but Corlett manages to meld the two in a unique and highly successful way. Highly recommended " -- John Martin Fischer, author of "The Metaphysics of Free Will" and "Responsibility and Control"
