| Zusammenfassung: | "This book is a historical and philosophical meditation on paying back and buying back, that is, on retaliation and redemption. It takes the law of the talion - eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth - seriously. In its biblical formulation that law states the value of my eye in terms of your eye, the value of your teeth in terms of my teeth. Eyes and teeth become units of valuation. But the talion does not stop there. It seems to demand that eyes, teeth, and lives are also to provide the means of payment. Bodies and body parts have a just claim to being the first and most precise of money substances. In its highly original way, the book offers a theory of justice, but not an airy theory. It is about getting even in a tough-minded, unsentimental, but strangely humane and respectful way. And it finds that much of what we take to be justice, honor, and respect for persons requires, at its core, measuring and measuring up."--BOOK JACKET. |
