A Kantian nonideal theory of punishment

My dissertation presents a Kantian theory of punishment that joins Kant’s ideal theory of freedom with a nonideal theory developed by means of his general ideas of human nature. This nonideal theory of punishment envisions rightful relations between juridically vulnerable, interacting people in a way that accounts for the contingencies and historical contexts of our embodied, social human lives. The result includes an experiential account of legal subjects and a social critical framework for critiquing institutions and examining the wrongness of mass incarceration.
