First edition of a Cuban treatise of criminal law, a forceful impugnation of capital punishment which invokes arguments and schemes from, among others, Filangieri, Montesquieu, Beccaria, Rousseau, and Bentham.

The tract moves to a wider juridical consideration of the relationship between individuals and the state. Aristotle, Hobbes, the jurists of the Roman tradition, and of the jusnaturalists are examined in a comprehensive assessment of the nature and extent of civic liberties. The conclusion, built on a careful consideration of Bentham’s Panopticon scheme, returns to the question of capital punishment, as the most extreme case and thus the central issue in the dialectics between man and organised society.
