Warum muss Strafe sein? Die Beiträge betreffen zunächst aktuelle Strafbegründungstheorien, insbesondere solche, die in der Strafe einen Tadel sehen. Eine klare Unterscheidbarkeit zwischen absoluten und relativen Straftheorien wird heute nicht selten bezweifelt.
The evil - das Bose - stands for dreadful deeds and neglect. Its symbolism is that of the impure, the dark and the inferior. It takes hold through habits and institutions, in collective collaboration, in exclusion and marginalization, excessive punishments and despotism. Evil is also rife in the war against evil. As well as the means of prevention, a broad spectrum of reflection and consideration is also devoted to past evil in the form of remembering, guilt and remorse. As responses (...) to evil, reprimand and punishment are two-edged weapons. Corrective measures are considered, such as moderate and constructive egoism, rather than "solutions" to eliminate evil.".

Rights are not redundant elements of a plausible utilitarian theory and the right to life is an inseparable companion of the rights to nourishment and to medical care. The deeper reason for this thesis is the interdependence of values corning vitality. In this perspective it is inconsistent to say that the newborn is unable to have a right to life, but has a right to be fed. The hidden premise of Singer's rebuttal of involuntary euthanasia is a theory of rights (...) as vetoes against imposed benefits. Without openly subscribing to such a theory there is no answer to ,logical slippery slope, arguments and no protection against dangerous ,quality of life, considerations as a basis of decisions over life and death.

- L'articolo risponde negativamente alla domanda, a partire dall'assunto che le persone non devono essere sacrificate nel nome di privilegi, ideali o altre persone. L'egoismo etico, quale č celebrato nell'Unico e la sua proprietÀ di Max Stirner, pare essere un efficace antidoto contro le eccessive pretese morali altrui. Infatti, l'origine del problema della sostituibilitÀ non risiede, come pensa Peter Singer, nell'edonismo, bensě nella imparzialitÀ forte dell'etica kantiana e di quella utilitarista, che escludono qualunque ragione egoistica dalla scelta morale.
