英文摘要 | I examine two related ideas about the role of desert judgments which say, roughly, that, if a punishment is undeserved, it is impermissible to impose it. These can both be taken to claim that desert is a 'limiting condition' on the pursuit of consequentialist aims. I discuss what considerations are supposed to support an offender's desert claim. I first examine the major divide between contemporary retributivist theories: those that take an offender's desert to supervene only on culpability considerations, and those that take an offender's desert to supervene on culpability considerations, and (roughly) the amount of harm her offense caused. I then look more closely at what sorts of facts fall into the categories of culpability and harm. We can see at the conceptual level that the conceptions of desert previously sketched give us reason to believe that an offender's desert does not set a plausible upper limit on the severity of her punishment. If we 'extend', as I say, conceptions of an offender's desert in order to get a clearer idea of the amount of punishment she deserves in certain cases, we see that the two types of retributivist theory have serious, and connected, difficulties in setting the limit. The conclusion I reach is this: it is unclear that desert is a limiting condition. |
