Summary
Is legal punishment justified? Tobias Zürcher examines and rejects classical approaches, based on retribution and consequence, to the moral justification of punishment. He advocates a concept of punishment as a moral practice that is justified when its objective is essentially communicative. Some common forms of punishment meet the conditions of this expressivist theory, but not all.
