    Reasons For

    2 perspectives
    Reason for 1 of 2
    ?
    • 1.Justice requires proportionality between offense and punishment, as Aristotle establishes in Nicomachean Ethics Book V.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Annihilation imposes the same penalty—nonexistence—on the moderately wicked and the supremely wicked alike, collapsing proportionality.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.A punishment scheme that cannot differentiate degrees of culpability violates the core Aristotelian requirement of distributive justice.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reason for 2 of 2
    ?
    • 1.Retributive justice, defended by Kant in the Metaphysics of Morals, requires that wrongdoers receive what they are genuinely owed, not merely what is convenient to administer.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Annihilation eliminates the subject of punishment entirely, meaning no agent remains to actually undergo the deserved moral reckoning.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.A just God on Kantian grounds cannot satisfy retributive obligations by destroying the very person who owes the debt rather than collecting it.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
