DISCUSSION PROMPT:
How can Aristotle’s concept of justice, giving each person their due or what they deserve, be applied to modern sentencing practices? Reflect on how Aristotle’s emphasis on allocating resources based on merit and purpose could inform discussions on sentencing fairness and equity. Explore parallels between Aristotle’s reasoning, which centers on the telos or purpose of goods, and the goals of sentencing, such as rehabilitation, deterrence, and societal safety. How can understanding “justice is teleological” aid in creating fairer sentencing decisions?
