"Kantian deontology and death penalty: A critical approach through the concept of "person" of the eastern Orthodox Christianity."
Summary:
The examination of Kantian ethics, either dialectically with the moral philosophy of utilitarianism or the tradition of aristotelian moral philosophy (virtue ethics) or individually, regarding modern moral problems, can even today, if examined exploratory, offer remarkable conclusions.Kant's pioneering ethics, characterized by his commitment to the production of ethical rules with reference to demands for practical rationality, and the idea that practical reason must be "emancipated" from external dependencies by ensuring objectivity without the need of endorsements on heteronomous metaphysical foundations. Nevertheless, there is a special point which even today raises questions.This is the retributive theory of punishment. Kantian theory of punishment, which goes so far as to defend the death penalty, seems in some way incompatible with the categorical imperative. This important issue is basically the main subject of this proposed doctoral dissertation.That is how the reinterpreted concept of freedom and the requirement for a logical consequence to be fulfilled is incompatible with the injunction for a death sentence. This critical analysis will not only take place within strictly philosophical positions, but also under the position of Christian theology, on which Kantian ethics found external support.
