The justification of legal punishment in Kant’s philosophy
... Kantian philosophy. Some recent interpretations of Kant’s theory of punishment are examined, particularly those by O. Hoeffe and B. Byrd. It is demonstrated that neither is actually compatible with Kant’s statement that punishment is a categorical imperative.

At the same time, it is shown that it is the universalism of Kant’s practical philosophy that leads to a kind ...
