Mass incarceration is one of the most pressing ethical and political issues of our time In this volume philosophers join activists and those incarcerated on death row to grapple with contemporary US punishment practices and draw out critiques around questions of power identity justice and ethical responsibilityThis work takes shape against a backdrop of disturbing trends The United States incarcerates more of its own citizens than any other country in the world A disproportionate number of these prisoners are people of color and today a black man has a greater chance of going to prison than to college The United States is the only Western democracy to retain the death penalty even after decades of scholarship statistics and even legal decisions have depicted a deeply flawed system structured by racism and class oppressionMotivated by a conviction that mass incarceration and state execution are among the most important ethical and political problems of our time the contributors to this volume come together from a diverse range of backgrounds to analyze critique and envision alternatives to the injustices of the US prison system with recourse to deconstruction phenomenology critical race theory feminism queer theory and disability studies They engage with the hyperincarceration of people of color the incomplete abolition of slavery the exploitation of prisoners as workers and as raw material for the prison industrial complex the intensive confinement of prisoners in supermax units and the complexities of capital punishment in an age of abolitionThe resulting collection contributes to a growing intellectual and political resistance to the apparent inevitability of incarceration and state execution as responses to crime and to social inequalities It addresses both philosophers and activists who seek intellectual resources to contest the injustices of punishment in the United States

From 1965 until 1980 there was a virtual moratorium on executions for capital offenses in the United States This was due primarily to protracted legal proceedings challenging the death penalty on constitutional grounds After much Sturm und Drang the Supreme Court of the United States by a divided vote finally decided that the death penalty does not invariably violate the Cruel and Unusual Punishment Clause of the Eighth Amendment The Courts decisions however do not moot the controversy about the death penalty or render this excellent book irrelevant The ball is now in the court of the Legislature and the Executive Leg islatures federal and state can impose or abolish the death penalty within the guidelines prescribed by the Supreme Court A Chief Executive can commute a death sentence And even the Supreme Court can change its mind as it has done on many occasions and did with respect to various aspects of the death penalty itself durlog the moratorium period Also the people can change their minds Some time ago a majority according to reliable polls favored abolition Today a substantial majority favors imposition of the death penalty The pendulum can swing again as it has done in the past

In this newest installment in Chicagos series of Jacques Derridas seminars the renowned philosopher attempts one of his most ambitious goals the first truly philosophical argument against the death penalty While much has been written against the death penalty Derrida contends that Western philosophy is massively if not always overtly complicit with a logic in which a sovereign state has the right to take a life Haunted by this notion he turns to the key places where such logic has been establishedand to the place it has been most effectively challenged literatureWith his signature genius and patient yet dazzling readings of an impressive breadth of texts Derrida examines everything from the Bible to Plato to Camus to Jean Genet with special attention to Kant and postWorld War II juridical texts to draw the landscape of death penalty discourses Keeping clearly in view the death rows and execution chambers of the United States he shows how arguments surrounding cruel and unusual punishment depend on what he calls an anesthesial logic which has also driven the development of death penalty technology from the French guillotine to lethal injection Confronting a demand for philosophical rigor he pursues provocative analyses of the shortcomings of abolitionist discourse Above all he argues that the death penalty and its attendant technologies are products of a desire to put an end to one of the most fundamental qualities of our finite existence the radical uncertainty of when we will dienbspnbspnbspnbspnbspnbspnbspnbspnbspnbspnbsp Arriving at a critical juncture in historyespecially in the United States one of the last Christianinspired democracies to resist abolitionThe Death Penalty is both a timely response to an important ethical debate and a timeless addition to Derridas esteemed body of worknbsp

In the first volume of his extraordinary analysis of the death penalty Jacques Derrida began a journey toward an ambitious end the first truly philosophical argument against the death penalty Exploring an impressive breadth of thought he traced a deeply entrenched logic throughout the whole of Western philosophy that has justified the states right to take a life He also marked literature as a crucial place where this logic has been most effectively challenged In this second and final volume Derrida builds on these analyses toward a definitive argument against capital punishment Of central importance in this second volume is Kants explicit justification of the death penalty in the Metaphysics of Morals Thoroughly deconstructing Kants positionwhich holds the death penalty as exemplary of the eyeforaneye Talionic lawDerrida exposes numerous damning contradictions and exceptions Keeping the current death penalty in the United States in view he further explores the anesthesial logic he analyzed in volume one addressing the themes of cruelty and pain through texts by Robespierre and Freud reading Heidegger andin a fascinating improvised final sessionthe nineteenthcentury Spanish Catholic thinker Donoso Cortés Ultimately Derrida shows that the rationality of the death penalty as represented by Kant involves an imposition of knowledge and calculability on a fundamental condition of nonknowledgethat we dont otherwise know what or when our deaths will be In this way the death penalty acts out a phantasm of mastery over ones own death nbsp Derridas thoughts arrive at a particular moment in history when the death penalty in the United States is the closest it has ever been to abolition and yet when the arguments on all sides are as confused as ever His powerful analysis will prove to be a paramount contribution to this debate as well as a lasting entry in his celebrated oeuvre nbsp
