Guerre juste et droit de la guerre dans l’"Encyclopédie"
2010
In the vast reform program sketched by the chevalier de Jaucourt in the Encyclopédie for the modernization of justice, one point is particularly close to his heart: humanizing the rules of war. Drawing from the philosophies of Grotius and Montesquieu, his articles devoted to the question of a just war (CONQUEST, DAMAGE, DESERTER, ENEMY, PRISONNER OF WAR, RETALIATION, WAR, etc.) argue for the subordination of the political to moral reason and work towards the advent of international humanitarian law.
Penser la peine à l'âge des Lumières
2012
L'image du mouvement intellectuel des Lumières qui remettrait en cause le droit de punir des siècles précédents, doit être nuancée. Philosophie et histoire sont convoquées pour savoir comment on pense la peine au XVIIIe siècle. L'histoire de la justice permet de se pencher sur la diversité des systèmes judiciaires européens et d'observer l'évolution de leur "rigueur" dans les discours normatifs et les pratiques pénales. Quant à l'histoire de la philosophie, revenant notamment sur Foucault, elle renoncera à présenter la pensée pénale des Lumières comme indistinctement humaniste, et ses adversaires comme unanimement hostiles à des vues utilitaristes. Les questions qui persistent dans la réfle…

Justice des Lumières et guillotine: un problème philosophique
2012
In "Justice during the Enlightenment and the Guillotine: a Philosophical Problem", Luigi Delia reconsiders the dispute over capital punishment in the France of the Ancien Regime, and especially Guillotin's proposed reform, linking the maintenance of the death penalty to the idea that the use of a mechanical device for its implementation works in favour of a more democratic, secular and humane penal system. Without attempting to establish a direct connection between the Enlightenment and the guillotine in an instrumental relationship of cause and effect, Luigi Delia raises the question of how the two phenomena are interrelated: in what way is the guillotine dependent on the legal culture of …
La peine de mort dans l'Encyclopédie et ses Suppléments
2012
This is a study of Montesquieu's and Beccaria's views on the right to apply death punishment as stated in the great Encyclopedia and in the Supplements. Without providing any unique answer to the question whether society may claim the right of life and death, the encyclopaedists reconsidered and diffused the reformism of the major authors of the eighteenth-century legal culture, thus promoting a societal justice before the Revolution.
Illuminismo e giustizia penale. Il caso della ghigliottina
2011
International audience; A mechanical daughter of the enlightenment, the guillotine remains a frightening symbol of its dialectic. Being one of the most troubling inventions of utilitarian rationalism in modern europe, it meets the expectations of equality, secularism, and humanity of the legal culture of Philosophes. Focusing on the texts and contexts of the institution of this lethal machine in the administration of justice, this article examines the anthropological sense and the political dimension of the recourse to the machine. Is the mechanization of capital punishment a step forward in the humanization of social relations or the entry in the era of technical inhumanity? In this ambigu…
