Università Roma Tre

The course will focus on the conflict between different philosophical models of interpreting law and criminal law in particular. The teaching objectives are: a) to provide students with the theoretical tools necessary for the deep analysis of the legal system, with a focus on criminal law; b) to allow them to orient themselves in the panorama of philosophical and theoretical reflection on criminal law, through an analytical exposition of the theory of guarantee, starting from Cesare Beccaria.
Finally, attention will be paid to the great questions around punishment: why, who, how and when to punish.
