Abstract:I SHALL develop, in this article, certain distinctions suggested by recent contributions to the philosophical discussion of punishment, which help to clarify the issues involved. Having separated out what I consider the four central philosophical questions, I shall suggest an approach to them, which, while mainly utilitarian, takes due account, I believe, of the retributivist case where it is strongest, and meets the main retributivist objections.
“…Hart reconoció también la influencia de S.I. Benn (1958). 18 Asimismo, Hart agrega algunas otras posibilidades como casos sub-estándar o secundarios de la expresión.…”
Section: Iii2 Segunda Tesis De Hart: La Tesis Del Carácter Mixto Deunclassified
Resumen: En este trabajo hacemos un balance crítico de algunos de los temas planteados por H.L.A. Hart en su libro Punishment and Responsibility. Concretamente, nos ocupamos de dos tesis relacionadas con los temas de responsabilidad y castigo: la tesis de la primacía de la sujeción y la tesis del carácter mixto de la justificación del castigo. Planteamos dichas tesis y revisamos su potencial explicativo a través del análisis de críticas que han recibido.

“…I make no effort to describe each of its problems; 6 Although Hart professes to borrow this definition from Stanley Benn and Antony Flew, he does not mention how or why he has altered the original version. Benn, e.g., does not include pain in his definition (see Benn 1958). Reasonable questions might be raised about the metric of punishment -the currency we use to decide whether one instance of punishment is more or less severe than another.…”
Section: Hart's Definition Of Punishmentmentioning
“…18 The suffering of pain is generally seen as a necessary condition of punishment. The locus classicus of this thesis is Flew (1954), Benn (1958), and Hart (2008a).…”
By offering a critical analysis of Nicolás Maloberti's recent theory and justification of punishment, this article accounts for a series of principles and considerations that any liberal and Lockean theory of punishment must take seriously. This article contends that Locke's conception of the state -an institution grounded on the right to punish violators of natural rights -and the basic character of the right to property within Locke's scheme of rights are elements that should lead us to affirm that no genuine liberal theory of punishment can dispense with the political character of the right to punish.
