Sí, los libros que me leí para el TFG irán a mi goodreads. Speak now or forever hold your peace.

H.L.A Heart... estuve misgendereandote durante todo el trabajo hasta la última draft, cuando me di cuenta de que no eras una mujer pese a todo (dissapointing).

I disagree with your take on punishment and retributivism deeply, you stand on the grey sidelines, barely pick a side, and then sustain a negative retributive approach... that either doesn't really hold up, or I simply could not understand.

Long live positive retributivism and a strong sense of proportionality and morality in justice <3

Classic!

Definitely better suited for people who understand the philosophy behind law more, however, for me it did the job of sparking an interest in the subject.

Read for class, but provoked a deeper thinking into the philosophy behind law.
