HEGEL’S DEATH PENALTY QUOTE [PRO DEATH PENALTY QUOTE OF THE WEEK ~ SUNDAY NOVEMBER 10, 2013 TO SATURDAY NOVEMBER 16, 2013]
|
Friedrich Hegel
|
“Although
requital cannot simply be made specifically equal to the crime, the case is
otherwise with murder, which is of necessity liable to the death penalty; the
reason is that since life is the full compass of a man’s existence, the
punishment here cannot simply consist in a ‘value’, for none is great enough,
but can consist only in taking away a second life.” -
Friedrich Hegel
