Why punitive intent matters
Analysis 81 (3):426-435 (2021)
Abstract
Many philosophers think that punishment is intentionally harmful and that this makes it especially hard to morally justify. Explanations for the latter intuition often say questionable things about the moral significance of the intent to harm. I argue that there’s a better way to explain this intuition.Author's Profile
