Philosophical Considerations Around the Death Penalty

By Filippo Fracas

At a young age, a child is taught not to harm others, behave well, and respect others. The child is taught that violence is not the solution for any reason. Respecting the boundaries of a person is critical to a child's upbringing. Despite this known fact, it has caused contradictions to the implementation of respect for a child's viewpoint regarding aggressive behavior. On the one hand, the child is forbidden from using aggression in his daily actions to achieve his goals and justify his conduct. A clear violation of the principle of non-contraction, which would have immediately startled Aristotle. The parallel between this domestic situation and that of the relationship between the State and the individual is obvious: the State prohibits killing but it itself is the first to do so
