Synopsis :

The right of the state to take life has become the epitome of the unresolvable issue. In "An Eye for an Eye?" philosopher Stephen Nathanson examines the moral issues concerning the legitimacy of the death penalty, explaining and evaluating the evidence for and against the death penalty.

Présentation de l'éditeur: In the second edition of An Eye for an Eye? Stephen Nathanson evaluates arguments for and against the death penalty, and ultimately defends an abolitionist position to the controversial practice, including arguments that show how and why the death penalty is inconsistent with respect for life and a commitment to justice. A timely new postscript and an updated bibliography accompany the volume.
