En este trabajo se analizan la filosofía de la tortura, sus variantes consecuencialistas, así como algunas de las estrategias argumentativas utilizadas para reclamarle un espacio de legitimidad en nuestras modernas democracias. Comienza revisando dos de las obras más importantes contra la quaestio escritas durante el siglo XVIII para enfatizar su incompatibilidad fenomenológica con el derecho. A continuación, se introduce en algunas discusiones suscitadas tras las conclusiones de la Comisión Landau de Israel en 1989, donde el debate sobre la tortura fue reabierto. Luego de recordarnos la posición de Jeremy Bentham al respecto, el autor critica cuidadosamente sendas estrategias desarrolladas con la finalidad de legitimarla en la actualidad. Su conclusión, sin embargo, es tajante: la tortura, si es una imposición deliberada de sufrimiento contra un sujeto indefenso, sigue siendo tortura, sea cual sea su motivo o los fines que se persigan, y no puede justificarse.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[ABSTRACT The "Pandora Box" on the issue of justifying torture, which has been considered sealed since the international legal consensus was reached in the post-Second World War period, has been recently reopened by quite few philosophers and legal scholars. This work analyses the philosophy of torture, its consequentialist variants, as well as some of the argumentative strategies used to make room for legitimacy in our modern democracies. It begins by reviewing two of the most relevant works against the torture, written in the 18th Century, aiming at emphasizing its phenomenological incompatibility with the law. The reopening of the "Pandora Box" took place afterward Israel Landau Commission conclusions in 1989. After reminding us of Jeremy Bentham's position in this regard, the author insightfully criticizes other strategies developed in order to legitimize it today. His conclusion, however, is emphatic: torture, if it is a deliberate imposition of suffering against an individual, continues to be torture, whatever its motive or ends may be, and cannot be justified.]]></p></abstract>
