Eye for an Eye
Analysing the law of the talion - an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth - William Ian Miller presents an original meditation on the concept of pay back. Millers unique theory of justice offers redemption through retaliation, espousing the view that revenge requires a deep commitment to balance in order to get even in a strict but fair manner. Looking at concepts such as Shylocks pound of flesh bargain, blood oaths, and other societies and cultures, Miller compares the ancient, and supposedly more primitive, with their modern counterparts.
