• Resumen

  • The label �retributive� has been sloppily attached to Kant. Kant is wrongly said to give a deontological theory of legal punishment, or to be a paradigmatic �bold retributivist�. By exploring precisely in what sense we can speak of Kant as a retributivist I hope at the very least to have promoted a more accurate understanding of his theory of legal punishment, an understanding that is not obfuscated by a loose label.
