Cf. >Punishment/Kant
.
In the much quoted formulation from the section on "administration of justice"(2) it says (...): "The human is considered like this because he/she is a human
Höffe I 336
not because he/she is Jewish, Catholic, Protestant, German, Italian, etc." In the corresponding constitutional state, freedom in the form of law permeates all spheres. Even criminal law is oriented (...) towards the personality of the criminal and the guilt attributable to him/her.
>State/Hegel, >Law/Hegel.
