Although we read about justice, rights, property, politics and its relation to transhumanism\/posthumanism, the need to consider the philosophy of punishment and the prison in transhumanistic\/posthumanist times has not yet been fully explored.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This book seeks to shed some light on the validity of having a retributive justice system at a time when the world is moving towards a new understanding of the human or, rather, the posthuman. The aim will be to fill the gaps in a system of retributive justice that is perhaps unsuitable for a changing mentality; a mentality moving away from the idea of punishment as a form of vengeance against those who created the victim. This book will strongly argue against the mentality of reprisal, namely a kind of mentality that derives satisfaction from either knowing that the offender is now suffering as a result of his\/her unlawful deeds or from egregiously witnessing (and even, perhaps, relishing) the offender\u2019s suffering as a form of spectacle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This book will advocate (and perhaps provoke the reader to formulate) an understanding on the reality of this topic, to fill one more gap, between the notion of transhumanism\/posthumanism and the realities of the traditional prison.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Suitable topics include (but are not limited to) the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
– philosophy of justice<\/p>\n\n\n\n
– ethics<\/p>\n\n\n\n
– politics within the precincts of transhumanism\/posthumanism<\/p>\n\n\n\n
