In the eighteenth century, the courts' increasing tendency towards
moderating punishments stands in stark contrast to the often
caricatured descriptions of philosophers. But the latter's call for a mild
criminal law has a different meaning, one that is autonomous because
it refers not to the magistrates' practical considerations but to the law
itself, in the name of the principle of legality. Therefore, the fight for
criminal moderation, in practice as well as in theory, constitutes a
veritable threshold, both synchronic and diachronic: the passage of an
era and a battleground between progressives and conservatives.eng
