Can these criminal laws be justified? What are the best reasons to punish or not to punish drug users? These are the fundamental issues debated in this book by two prominent philosophers of law. Douglas Husak argues in favor of drug decriminalization, by clarifying the meaning of crucial terms, such as legalize, decriminalize, and drugs; and by identifying the standards by which alternative drug policies should be assessed. He critically examines the reasons typically offered in favor of our current approach and explains why decriminalization is preferable. Peter de Marneffe argues against drug legalization, demonstrating why drug prohibition, especially the prohibition of heroin, is necessary to protect young people from self-destructive drug use. If the empirical assumptions of this argument are sound, he reasons, drug prohibition is perfectly compatible with our rights to liberty. 410 0$aFor and against (Cambridge, England) 606 $aDrug legalization$zUnited States 606 $aDrugs of abuse$xLaw and legislation$zUnited States$xCriminal provisions 615 0$aDrug legalization 615 0$aDrugs of abuse$xLaw and legislation$xCriminal provisions. 676 $a364.1/77/0973 700 $aHusak$b Douglas N.$f1948-$01474503 702 $aDe Marneffe$b Peter$f1957- 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910778400503321 996 $aThe legalization of drugs$93688252 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04324nam 2200601 a 450 001 9910968023203321 005 20251117092400.0 010 $a1-61487-811-0 035 $a(CKB)2670000000275737 035 $a(EBL)3327284 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000780632 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11405644 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000780632 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10804184 035 $a(PQKB)10262822 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC3327284 035 $a(BIP)42484679 035 $a(BIP)10080601 035 $a(EXLCZ)992670000000275737 100 $a20070918d2008 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 14$aThe meditations of the Emperor Marcus Aurelius Antoninus /$ftranslated by Francis Hutcheson and James Moore ; edited and with an introduction by James Moore and Michael Silverthorne 205 $a1st ed. 210 $aIndianapolis $cLiberty Fund$dc2008 215 $a1 online resource (249 p.) 225 1 $aThe collected works and correspondence of Francis Hutcheson 225 0$aNatural law and enlightenment classics 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 08$a0-86597-511-6 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references (p. 193-201) and index. 327 $a""Francis Hutcheson, The Meditations of the Emperor Marcus Aurelius Antoninus ""; ""Front Matter ""; ""Title Page ""; ""Copyright Details ""; ""Table of Contents ""; ""Introduction, p. ix ""; ""A Note on the Text, p. xxix ""; ""Acknowledgments, p. xxxi ""; ""The Meditations of the Emperor Marcus Aurelius Antoninus ""; ""Introduction, p. 2 ""; ""Book I, p. 25 ""; ""Book II, p. 33 ""; ""Book III, p. 40 ""; ""Book IV, p. 47 ""; ""Book V, p. 58 ""; ""Book VI, p. 71 ""; ""Book VII, p. 83 ""; ""Book VIII, p. 95 ""; ""Book IX, p. 107 ""; ""Book X, p. 119 ""; ""Book XI, p. 133 "" 327 $a""Book XII, p. 144 """"Errata, p. 153 ""; ""Maxims of the Stoics, p. 155 ""; ""Gataker's Apology, p. 161 ""; ""Endnotes, p. 165 ""; ""Editor's Notes to Marcus's Text and to Hutcheson and Moor's Notes, p. 170 ""; ""Editor's Notes to Maxims of the Stoics, p. 191 ""; ""Editor's Notes to Gataker's Apology, p. 192 ""; ""Bibliography, p. 193 ""; ""Index, p. 203 "" 330 $aThis 1742 translation is a collaborative work by Francis Hutcheson and a colleague at Glasgow University, the classicist James Moor. Although Hutcheson was secretive about the extent of his work on the book, he was clearly the leading spirit of the project. This influential classical work offered a vision of a universe governed by a natural law that obliges us to love mankind and to govern our lives in accordance with the natural order of things. In their account of the life of the emperor, prefaced to their translation from the Greek, Hutcheson and Moor celebrated the Stoic ideal of an orderly universe governed by a benevolent God. They contrasted the serenity recommended and practiced by Marcus Aurelius with the divisive sectarianism then exhibited by their fellow Presbyterians in Scotland and elsewhere. They urged their readers and fellow citizens to set aside their narrow prejudices. In many ways, Hutcheson and Moor's "The Meditations of the Emperor Marcus Aurelius Antoninus" is a companion volume to Hutcheson's Latin work on ethics, released in the same year, "Philosophiae Moralis Institutio Compendiaria." In the latter volume, which is also available from Liberty Fund, Hutcheson continues a theme that proffered his ethics as a modern and, not least, Christianized version of Stoicism.
