Émile Durkheim on Punishment - Dictionary of Arguments
Habermas IV 119 Punishment/Archaic Law/Durkheim/Habermas: Archaic law is essentially criminal law. Habermas IV 120 A violation of the sacred norm is not considered a crime because sanctions are imposed on it; rather, it triggers sanctions because the norms are initially nothing more than a device for the protection of sacred objects or districts. Punishment: is understood here as atonement. Atonement/Durkheim: is based on the idea of satisfaction granted to a real or ideal power that is above us. With the punishment we do not want to avenge ourselves personally, but feel something higher (...) outside and above us. This is understood over time as something else: first as something essentially religious, later as morality or duty. (...) This is above the simple reparation we content ourselves in the order of purely human interests.(1) >Criminal law, >Norms, >Laws, >Law. 1. E.
