Abstract

IBARRA B, Víctor. The Condemnation of Private Vengeance after the Punitive Justice Contrast and Continuity between Aeschylus' Oresteia and Hegelian Right. Ideas y Valores [online]. 2016, vol.65, n.162, pp.291-314. ISSN 0120-0062.  https://doi.org/10.15446/ideasyvalores.v65n162.46041.

The article addresses two antagonistic forms of justice: retributive justice, form which belongs to the world of heroes and ancient vengeance; and punitive justice, which can be found in both ancient and modern traditions and consists on the rationalization of violence by means of the court. The article shows the preeminence of the punitive justice, its half antagonism with the retributive form -which comes to be violence's appropriation made by necessity (good, destiny, State)-, and its margination from justice's ambit.

Keywords : Aeschylus; G. W. F. Hegel; right; justice.
