Aims. The main aim of this project is to look at the topic of capital punishment and determine if it is a viable form of punishment or if it is simply inhumane. I will look at and consider the methods used and look at religion and determine if a society is responsible for allowing or not allowing capital punishment as a method of punishment. I will also look at how society has changed over the years and determine how this has influenced the perception of capital punishment. Concepts. Primarily I will look at the topic of capital punishment and I will consider the work of Durkheim and his views on society. I will also use Nietzsche as my secondary philosopher and I will consider his works on ethics. Although ethics will not be the main focus of this project I feel that I am unable to discuss capital punishment without using ethics in some part. I may also use some Enlightenment work to justify or oppose the use of capital punishment. Sources. I intend to use a wide variety of sources for this project including both primary and secondary texts. I will use both Durkheim\u2019s, \u2018The Division of Labour in Society\u2019 and Nietzsche\u2019s \u2018On the Genealogy of Morals\u2019 and \u2018Beyond Good and Evil\u2019. I will also use some journals and also look at works by Rousseau, Rawls, Lyotard along with Roger Hood\u2019s book, \u2018The Death Penalty: A Worldwide Perspective\u2019. The internet will also provide invaluable when researching capital punishment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
