| contents | Plato’s theory of punishment in book ix of Laws Silvia Regina da Silva Barros da Cunha Filosofía Laws Plato Greek Law Punishment The basis of moral responsibility is the central issue of Book IX of Laws, where Plato develops his theory of punishment, conciliating the Socratic thesis that no one is voluntarily bad (οὐδεὶς ἑκὼν κακός), with the practical necessity for a gradation of penalties, the latter being derived from the traditional distinction between voluntary and involuntary offences. Distinguishing two independent aspects of crimes – injury (βλάβη) and injustice (ἀδικία) – Plato argues that the former requires only restitution, whereas injustice calls for punishment, conceived as a measure to improve the soul, affected by disordered emotions or ignorance, causes of injustice. 2018 artículo científico 1984-249X https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=586177199003 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=5861 Revista Archai application/pdf Universidade de Brasília Revista Archai (Brasil) Num.23 |
