Non‐paradigmatic punishments
Much current penal philosophy has an unhelpful hyper‐focus on the criminal punishment of culpable adults, by states, often through imprisonment. This paradigmatic case is important, but other subjects, agents, and practices of punishment are not statistically insignificant side‐issues, and a comprehensive account of punishment should address them. Our understanding of punishment as a whole can be enhanced by considering non‐paradigmatic punishmen…
Introduction
This is an introduction to the Symposium on Nonparadigmatic Forms of Punishment. We explain what we mean by calling certain instances of punishment 'nonparadigmatic' and explain why nonparadigmatic punishments are of philosophical interest. We then introduce the contributions to the Special Issue and conclude by outlining directions that future research on nonparadigmatic punishment might take. We focus on three particular ways in which punishmen…
Punishing Noncitizens
In this article, I discuss a distinctively nonparadigmatic instance of punishment: the punishment of noncitizens. I shall argue that the punishment of noncitizens presents considerable difficulties for one currently popular account of criminal punishment: Antony Duff’s communicative expressive theory of punishment. Duff presents his theory explicitly as an account of the punishment of citizens – and as I shall argue, this is not merely an inciden…
Global obligations, collective capacities, and ‘ought implies can’
The Duties of Non-Agential Groups
Rethinking Punishment in the Era of Mass Incarceration
Philosophers' attempts to justify punishment have focused on a wide range of features that paradigmatic cases of punishment possess. The most obvious such features are, of course, punishment's (alleged) capacity for incapacitating wrongdoers and deterring future wrongdoing (Bentham 1907 [1780]; Tadros 2011); and its (alleged) ability to exact from an offender a deserved quantum of suffering (Kant 1996 [1797]). Others include its supposed capacity…
An Expressive Theory of Punishment
This book argues that punishment's function is to communicate a message about an offenders' wrongdoing to society at large. It discusses both 'paradigmatic' cases of punishment, where a state punishes
Macrocognition
Collective Obligations
In this paper I discuss a number of different relationships between two kinds of (moral) obligation: those which have individuals as their subject, and those which have groups of individuals as their subject. I use the name collective obligations to refer to obligations of the second sort. I argue that there are collective obligations, in this sense; that such obligations can give rise to and explain obligations which fall on individuals; that be…
Cognitive individualism and the child as scientist program
Aggression and Crimes Against Peace - Larry May
Larry May's prize‐winning four‐volume work on the philosophical foundations of international criminal law, of which this is the third volume (the others cover respectively crimes against humanity, war crimes, and the crime of genocide) has been highly, and deservedly, praised. With the possible exception of Koskenniemi's 600‐plus‐page tome From Apology to Utopia, which has the advantage of being written from the standpoint of a practitioner of in…
Global Obligations and the Agency Objection
Many authors hold that collectives, as well as individuals can be the subjects of obligations. Typically these authors have focussed on the obligations of highly structured groups, and (less often) of small, informal groups. One might wonder, however, whether there could also be collective obligations which fall on everyone – what I shall call ‘global collective obligations’. One reason for thinking that this is not possible has to do with consid…

Needs, Rights, and Collective Obligations
Normative political discussion can be conducted in a variety of different vocabularies. One such is the vocabulary of rights; another is that of needs. Others, with which I shall be less immediately concerned, are the vocabularies of common good and perhaps-although one might regard it as such a general term as to be common to almost all the terms in which one might conduct normative discourse-that of moral obligation.
