La pena de mort by Gabriel Alomar
"La pena de mort" by Gabriel Alomar is a philosophical treatise written in the early 20th century. This non-fiction book explores the concept of capital punishment within the framework of social justice and morality. Alomar engages deeply with the historical context and ideological implications of the death penalty, arguing against its justification and the societal implications it carries. In his exploration, Alomar presents a compelling critique of capital punishment as a formof state-sanctioned violence and vengeance. He argues that the death penalty is not only a violation of human rights but also a ritualistic act deeply intertwined with societal and religious traditions. Throughout the text, he discusses the psychological and moral ramifications of the death penalty, including its effects on families of the condemned and society as a whole. Alomar presents a vision where the abolition of capital punishment could pave the way for a more humane and morally just society, advocating for a re-evaluation of justice that emphasizes rehabilitation over retribution. His poignant reflections challenge readers to reconsider the ethics of state-sanctioned executions and the underlying motives behind them. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
