TY - BOOK AU - Norrie, Alan TI - Love in law’s shadow: political theory, moral psychology and young Hegel’s critique of punishment PY - 2019/// KW - Punishment (Psychology) KW - Political theory KW - Hegel N2 - Modern theory of punishment conflates two types of question. The first concerns the justification of state punishment, the second the moral damage that occurs when a person is violated, and how the resulting damage can be repaired. The first question leads to political theory and a particular legally based moral grammar of wrongdoing and punishment. The second goes in the direction of a different moral psychology involving a grammar of violation, grieving and reconciliation. Retrieving the young Hegel’s analysis takes us in the second direction. It provides a critical vantage point from which to view the dominant liberal political theory, including Hegel’s own mature position as a founder of retributive theory. The modern theory of state punishment is legitimated by its public association with a moral psychology of violation, which it at the same time suppresses in favour of its own very different moral grammar. - Reproduced BR - AR120085 ER -
