Question:
a deontological philosopher, stated in “An Exposition of The Fundamental Principles of Jurisprudence as the Science of Right” that “Judicial Punishment can never be administered merely as a means for promoting another Good either with regard to the Criminal himself or to Civil Society, but must in all cases be imposed only because the individual on whom it is inflicted has committed a crime.…The Penal Law is a Categorical Imperative and woe to him who creeps through the serpent-windings of Utilitarianism to discover some advantage that may discharge from the Justice of Punishment.” Kant would probably find it unethical for a defendant in a criminal case to be afforded the defense of mental incapacity (insanity). Do you believe it is ethical to convict a defendant who is mentally incapacitated?
