How do we punish others socially, and should we do so? In her 2018
Descartes Lectures for Tilburg University, Linda Radzik explores
the informal methods ordinary people use to enforce moral norms,
such as telling people off, boycotting businesses, and publicly
shaming wrongdoers on social media. Over three lectures, Radzik
develops an account of what social punishment is, why it is
sometimes permissible, and when it must be withheld. She argues
that the proper aim of social punishment is to put moral pressure
on wrongdoers to make amends. Yet the permissibility of applying
such pressure turns on the tension between individual desert and
social good, as well as the possession of an authority to punish.
Responses from Christopher Bennett, George Sher and Glen Pettigrove
challenge Radzik's account of social punishment while also offering
alternative perspectives on the possible meanings of our responses
to wrongdoing. Radzik replies in the closing essay.
