Summary
This chapter responds to the critiques of Linda Radzik’s account of social punishment offered by Christopher Bennett, George Sher, and Glen Pettigrove. In response to their objections, Radzik revises her definition of social punishment, draws a distinction between the justificandum and justificans of social punishment, and explores the problem of interpreting particular actions as punishments as opposed to protests.
