摘要

摘要:查尔斯·桑德斯·皮尔斯认为，我们没有权利严厉惩罚罪犯，尤其是让他们在监狱里受苦和死亡。概括地说，他的论点是，国家只有公民赋予它的权利和权力，由于公民没有权利，而且在道德上被禁止严厉惩罚罪犯，所以监狱系统必须改革。这篇文章在皮尔斯初生的感伤主义背景下发展和捍卫了他的论点，并指出皮尔斯时代的监狱制度与我们现在的监狱制度相似，他的论点在今天和当时一样适用。

Peirce, Sentimentalism, and Prison Reform

Abstract:Charles Sanders Peirce argued that we have no right to harshly punish criminals, especially by causing them to suffer and die in prison. Summarily stated, his argument is that the state has only those rights and powers conferred on it by its citizens, and as its citizens do not have the right to but are morally prohibited from harshly punishing criminals, the prison system must be reformed. This essay develops and defends Peirce's argument in the context of his nascent sentimentalism and suggests that as the prison system of Peirce's time is akin to our own, his argument is as applicable today as it was then.

期刊介绍： Transactions of the Charles S. Peirce Society has been the premier peer-reviewed journal specializing in the history of American philosophy since its founding in 1965. Although named for the founder of American pragmatism, American philosophers of all schools and periods, from the colonial to the recent past, are extensively discussed. TCSPS regularly includes essays, and every significant book published in the field is discussed in a review essay. A subscription to the journal includes membership in the Charles S. Peirce Society, which was founded in 1946 by Frederic H. Young. The purpose of the Society is to encourage study of and communication about the work of Peirce and its ongoing influence in the many fields of intellectual endeavor to which he contributed.
