A particularly timely book, given the precarious progress of retributivism in the twentieth century." —Ethics“By producing the present, clear, comprehensive, and compelling defense of a strict retributivist justification, Dr. Igor Primoratz has set a challenging standard." —The Philosophical Quarterly
