Beskrivning
One in the series New Dialogues in Philosophy, edited by the author himself, Dale Jacquette presents a fictional dialogue over a three-day period on the ethical complexities of capital punishment. Jacquette moves his readers from outlining basic issues in matters of life and death, to questions of justice and compassion, with a concluding dialogue on the conditional and unconditional right to life. Jacquette's characters talk plainly and thoughtfully about the death penalty, and readers are left to determine for themselves how best to think about the morality of putting people to death.

Recensioner i media

Books discussing the death penalty now flood the bookstalls. Most, of course, are devoted to criticizing it; few come to its defense. With one or two exceptions virtually none attempts to explore both sides. Dale Jacquette's contribution is all the more admirable for doing just that-and doing it carefully, fairly, and boldly.
