Kara śmierci z filozoficznego punktu widzenia
Ślipko, Tadeusz (Instytut Teologiczno-Pastoralny im. św. bpa Józefa Sebastiana Pelczara w Rzeszowie, 2006)
The article illustrates a few theories supporting the acceptability of the capital punishment from the ethical point of view. The author of the article, Pr. Prof. Tadeusz Slipko draws his own original concept based on defining aggression as a wrongful deed in moral context. An aggressor performing such a deed puts himself aside the moral order, so he deprives himself of personal dignity, he „resigns” from it. The legal authority depriving him of life by performing capital punishment and defending objective values, acts according to the moral order. The weakness of this argumentation is its only theoretical analysis of ethical values and norms without referring to concrete cases of people and their criminal acts. However, the vital issue mentioned in the article is the problem of the way of performing the capital punishment and evaluation of the act done by the executioner.
