Compare Dialogues on the Ethics of Capital Punishment by Dale Jacquette, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

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. | Dialogues on the Ethics of Capital Punishment by Dale Jacquette, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
