Description

Two distinguished social and political philosophers take opposing positions in this highly engaging work. Louis P. Pojman justifies the practice of execution by appealing to the principle of retribution while Jeffrey Reiman argues that although the death penalty is a just punishment for murder, we are not morally obliged to execute murderers.

Jeffrey Reiman is William Fraser McDowell professor of philosophy at American University and the author of Critical Moral Liberalism (Rowman & Littlefield, 1997), The Rich Get Richer and the Poor Get Prison, Justice and Modern Moral Philosophy, and In Defense of Political Philosophy.
