摘要
关注惩罚及其正当性的学者们对“惩罚是什么”问题所给出的答案不外乎是以“痛苦”或“伤害”为基础构建起来的定义。然而,痛苦并不适合拿来解释惩罚,这是因为其作为一种内在的感觉体验,不仅会引发严重的理论困惑,而且无法与所公认的惩罚要素相结合。而伤害作为一种客观的实在和行动,不仅能够解决痛苦所引发的问题,而且也与“惩罚”的日常用法一致。
Scholars who focus on punishment and its justification have defined“punishment”in its relation to either the pain it causes to or the harm it inflicts on those being punished.However,pain is not a suitable explanation for punishment,because as an internal sensory experience,it not only causes serious theoretical confusion,but also fails to integrate with the accepted elements of punishment.Harm,as an objective reality and as an action,can not only solve the problems caused by pain,but is also consistent with the daily use of“punishment”.
