Description :
In these sessions, we’ll explore how philosophers have understood punishment as a part of justice. What is punishment for—to deter, to reform, or to balance the scales? We’ll consider several key theories and reflect on what they reveal about fairness, responsibility, and the pursuit of justice today. Instructor: Dr. McDermid is a philosopher with expertise in critical thinking, epistemology (the study of the nature of knowledge), and philosophy of science. He has just moved to the island from Montclair State University in New Jersey, where he taught for 19 years.
