5. Self-preservation. – Between self-preservation and
punishment the relation is of this sort.
Self-defence is the name given to the an act of punishment,
in so far as the evil the prevention of
which is the ultimately intentional result to the production
of which is aimed at it is directed by it is considered as
striking men particular against the well-being or
the being or the well-being of him whose act
the of act of punishment is considered as being.
Let the offence for example be being consist of an act of rebellion
or an act of treason, and let the punishment have for
its mediate result the death or confinement incarceration the imprisonment of the offender be
the mediate result of the act of punishment considered in this point of view: the
infliction of such capital punishment or such imprisonment
may be, and is with propriety is termed
an act of self-defence.
As self-defence implies In the signification
of the word self-defence it is implied that the
danger evil against which a incu a party is endeavouring to
preserve guard himself is has for its cause an ulti an attack made
act done by some sentient being in the intention of
producing that same evil.
The word self-preservation is alike applicable
whatsoever be the source or quarter from which the evil
is considered as about to come. Therefore wheresoever In so far therefore
therefore a the act of punishment is with propriety capable
of being termed an act of self-defence it is with the same
propriety capable of being termed an act of self-preservation.
