Cesare Beccaria

Penal laws, so considerable a part of every system of legislation, and of so great importance to the happiness, peace, and security of every member of society, are still so imperfect, and are attended with so many unnecessary circumstances of cruelty in all nations, that an attempt to reduce them to the standard of reason must be interesting to all mankind. Its is not surprising, then, that this little book hath engaged the attention of all ranks of people in every part of Europe.

In this edition of Beccaria's On Crimes and Punishments and other writings, Richard Bellamy draws on recent Italian scholarship to show how Beccaria wove together the various political languages of the Enlightenment into a political philosophy that combines republican, contractarian, romantic and liberal as well as utilitarian themes. This edition also includes a number of pieces from Beccaria's writings on political economy and the history of civilization that were not previously available in English.

Cesare Beccaria Bonesana (1738-1794) è stato un giurista, filosofo, economista eletterato italiano considerato tra i massimi esponenti dell'illuminismo italiano.

Qu’est-ce qu’une peine juste ? Qu’est-ce qu’une violence juste ? À partir de quelques principes clairs et évidents, Beccaria fonde le droit pénal moderne : principe de proportionnalité, distinction du crime et du péché, codification (principe de légalité), principe d’utilité, dépénalisation des délits d’opinion et de mœurs, etc.Des délits et des peines reste d’une brûlante actualité en nous apprenant que le droit pénal a toujours pour vocation de défendre le plus faible contre le plus fort : ce plus faible qui, au moment du crime, est la victime ; ce plus faible qui, au moment du procès, est le prévenu ; ce plus faible qui, au moment de l’exécution, est le condamné.

The first known abolitionist critique of the death penalty—here for the first time in EnglishIn 1764, a Milanese aristocrat named Cesare Beccaria created a sensation when he published On Crimes and Punishments. At its centre is a rejection of the death penalty as excessive, unnecessary, and pointless. Beccaria is deservedly regarded as the founding father of modern criminal-law reform, yet he was not the first to argue for the abolition of the death penalty. Against the Death Penalty presents the first English translation of the Florentine aristocrat Giuseppe Pelli's critique of capital punishment, written three years before Beccaria's treatise, but lost for more than two centuries in the Pelli family archives.Peter Garnsey examines the contrasting arguments of the two abolitionists, who drew from different intellectual traditions. Pelli was a devout Catholic influenced by the writings of natural jurists such as Hugo Grotius, whereas Beccaria was inspired by the French Enlightenment philosophers. While Beccaria attacked the criminal justice system as a whole, Pelli focused on the death penalty, composing a critique of considerable depth and sophistication. Garnsey explores how Beccaria's alternative penalty of forced labour, and its conceptualisation as servitude, were embraced in Britain and America, and delves into Pelli's voluminous diaries, shedding light on Pelli's intellectual development and painting a vivid portrait of an Enlightenment man of letters and of conscience.With translations of letters exchanged by the two abolitionists and selections from Beccaria's writings, Against the Death Penalty provides new insights into eighteenth-century debates about capital punishment and offers vital historical perspectives on one of the most pressing questions of our own time.

Questões Criminais são textos preciosos onde Beccaria põe em prática parte de sua teoria penal humanitária, ventilada e sustentada em Dos Delitos e Das Penas que possibilitam interessantíssimas e proveitosas analogias com questões que permanecem atuais no mundo ocidental contemporâneo.

An Essay on Crimes and Punishments by Cesare Beccaria is one of the foundational works of modern law and justice — a concise, revolutionary manifesto that transformed criminal philosophy across the world. First published in 1764, when its author was barely twenty-six, this small book ignited the Enlightenment's campaign against cruelty, superstition, and arbitrary power. Beccaria's arguments for fairness, proportion, and humanity in punishment remain as relevant today as they were over two centuries ago.Written in clear, rational prose, Beccaria's Essay denounces torture and capital punishment, condemns laws built on vengeance rather than reason, and insists that justice must serve the social good rather than the desires of rulers. His vision is of a legal system founded on deterrence, not brutality — where penalties are certain but measured, and where every human being is treated with dignity under the law. The book's moral clarity and logical rigor made it an instant sensation, influencing thinkers such as Voltaire, Jefferson, and Bentham, and shaping criminal codes throughout Europe and the Americas.But beyond jurisprudence, An Essay on Crimes and Punishments is a plea for moral progress. Beccaria saw justice as a mirror of to make punishment humane was to make society itself humane. His call for reason over cruelty, and principle over passion, helped lay the intellectual foundations of democracy, civil rights, and the rule of law. For students of history, philosophy, or ethics, this landmark text remains essential reading — a masterpiece of Enlightenment thought that continues to illuminate the path from fear to fairness.

Inspiré par les Philosophes des Lumières et aidé par l'actualité de l'époque Beccaria remet en cause de manière globale le système judiciaire. En dehors de tout religieux, Beccaria y établit les bases et les limites du droit de punir, et recommande de proportionner la peine au délit . Il pose aussi en principe la séparation des pouvoirs religieux et judiciaires. Dénonçant la cruauté de certaines peines comparées au crime commis, il juge « barbare » la pratique de la torture et la peine de mort , et recommande de prévenir le crime plutôt que de le réprimer, amorçant ainsi le premier mouvement abolitionniste .

Sul cofanetto: Charlotte Corday in prigione, illustrazione dal dipinto omonimo di Charles-Louis Müller, 1881- - - - - Dei delitti e delle pene è un breve saggio scritto dall'illuminista italiano Cesare Beccaria e pubblicato nel 1764. In questo saggio breve, Beccaria si pone con spirito illuminista delle domande circa le modalità di accertamento dei delitti e circa le pene allora in uso.- - - - - Con le "Osservazioni sulla Tortura" Pietro Verri dà una spinta fondamentale al dibattito sette-ottocentesco sui delitti e sulle pene, nel cui solco si inserirà anche il Manzoni della Colonna Infame. In quest'opera Verri esamina per primo la vicenda dei processi agli untori durante la peste di Milano del 1630, proponendo una riflessione che favorisce una svolta decisiva nella cultura giuridica italiana. Il testo, composto a partire dal 1776, era stato pubblicato postumo solo nel 1804. Qui per la prima volta le Osservazioni sulla Tortura sono pubblicate in una edizione critica basata sul manoscritto autografo, accompagnata da un apparato diacronico genetico. Le varianti d'autore emerse attraverso lo studio dell'officina dell'autore permettono di seguire l'elaborazione del testo e il pensiero di Verri nelle diverse fasi della stesura.

Beccarria's influential Treatise On Crimes and Punishments is considered a foundation work in the modern field of criminology. As Newman and Marongiu note in their introduction to the work, three master themes of the Enlightenment run through the the idea of the social contract, the idea of science, and the belief in progress. The idea of the social contact forms the moral and political basis of the work's reformist zeal. Th e idea of science supports a dispassionate and reasoned appeal for reforms. The belief in progress is inextricably bound to the idea of science. All three provide the necessary foundation for accepting Beccaria's proposals.It is virtually impossible to ascertain which of several versions of the Treatise that appeared during his lifetime best reflected Becccaria's own thought. His use of many ideas of Enlightenment thinkers also makes it diffi cult to interpret what he has written. While Enlightenment thinkers wanted to break the chains of religion and advocated free men and free minds, there was considerable disagreement as to how this might be achieved, except in the most general terms.The editors have based this translation on the Francioni (1984) text, by far the most exhaustive critical Italian edition of Dei delitti e delle pene. This edition is undoubtedly the last that Beccaria personally oversaw and revised. This new translation, which includes an outstanding opening essay by the editors, is a welcome introduction to Beccaria and to the modern beginnings of criminology.
