A Quote by Jean Piaget

Punishment renders autonomy of conscience impossible. — © Jean Piaget
Punishment renders autonomy of conscience impossible.
All in all, punishment hardens and renders people more insensible; it concentrates; it increases the feeling of estrangement; it strengthens the power of resistance.
Total absence of humor renders life impossible.
Injustice upon earth renders the justice of of heaven impossible.
Autonomy is impossible as long as one is driven by anything.
The first and greatest punishment of the sinner is the conscience of sin.
There must be sophistry in all this; but the condition of a slave confuses all principles of morality, and, in fact, renders the practice of them impossible.
There is no free will if to exercise it in certain ways produces punishment. That makes a mockery of free will and renders it counterfeit.
In my judgement, this new paradigm renders obsolete Geneva's strict limitations on questioning of enemy prisoners and renders quaint some of its provisions.
Remorse is the punishment of crime; repentance, its expiation. The former appertains to a tormented conscience; the latter to a soul changed for the better.
The principle inherent in the clause that prohibits pointless infliction of excessive punishment when less severe punishment can adequately achieve the same purposes invalidates the punishment.
We are given an autonomy and the real autonomy... and God would much rather we went freely to hell than compel us to go to heaven.
I have somewhere read that conscience not only sits as witness and judge within our bosoms, but also forms the prison of punishment.
It is only the impossible that is possible for God. He has given over the possible to the mechanics of matter and the autonomy of his creatures.
Does capital punishment tend to the security of the people? By no means. It hardens the hearts of men, and makes the loss of life appear light to them; and it renders life insecure, inasmuch as the law holds out that property is of greater value than life.
No matter what his crimes were, Alton Sterling did not deserve to be executed for them. Look, guys, the punishment for resisting arrest shouldn't be death. The punishment for selling bootleg CDs shouldn't be death. The punishment for having a gun in an open-carry state shouldn't be death. The punishment for being a black man shouldn't be death.
It's too simplistic to advance the notion of the autonomy of art as a reason for turning away from the public. You can have autonomy and simultaneously have connections with the social and political world.
