Abstract

Strawson's view on punishment has been either neglected or recoiled from in contemporary scholarship on ‘Freedom and Resentment’ (FR). Strawson's alleged retributivism has made his view suspect and troublesome. In this article, we first argue, against the mainstream, that the punishment passage is an indispensable part of the main argument in FR (section 1) and elucidate in what sense Strawson can be called ‘a retributivist’ (section 2). We then elaborate our own hypothesis of symbolic retribution to explain the continuum between moral reactive attitudes and punishment that Strawson only adumbrates (section 3). After this justification of the punitive response to wrongdoing, we compare and contrast our specific kind of retributivist hypothesis with other positions in the so-called ‘new retributivism’ (section 4). Our hypothesis differs from other subvarieties of expressive retributivism in putting centre stage the idea of punishment as taking up a reverential stance towards the victim.

P.F. 斯特劳森论惩罚与象征性报应假说
在关于 "自由与怨恨"(Freedom and Resentment)的当代学术研究中,斯特劳森关于惩罚的观点要么被忽视,要么被回避。斯特劳森所谓的报应主义使他的观点备受怀疑和困扰。在本文中,我们首先一反主流观点,论证了惩罚段落是《自由与怨恨》主要论点不可或缺的一部分(第 1 节),并阐明了斯特劳森在何种意义上可被称为 "报应论者"(第 2 节)。然后,我们阐述了自己关于象征性报应的假说,以解释斯特劳森仅含糊其辞的道德反应态度与惩罚之间的连续性(第 3 节)。在解释了对不法行为的惩罚性反应之后,我们将我们这种特殊的报应主义假设与所谓 "新报应主义 "中的其他立场进行比较和对比(第 4 节)。我们的假说与表达式报应主义的其他分支不同之处在于,我们将惩罚作为对受害者的敬畏姿态这一理念置于中心位置。

期刊介绍: Philosophy is the journal of the Royal Institute of Philosophy, which was founded in 1925 to build bridges between specialist philosophers and a wider educated public. The journal continues to fulfil a dual role: it is one of the leading academic journals of philosophy, but it also serves the philosophical interests of specialists in other fields (law, language, literature and the arts, medicine, politics, religion, science, education, psychology, history) and those of the informed general reader. Contributors are required to avoid needless technicality of language and presentation. The institutional subscription includes two supplements.
