Summary
The paper attempts to examine a philosophy of punishment in the normative perspective and to penetrate the structure of the fundamental premises and theses of retributivism. Punishment concepts are discussed in relation to two contexts and types of expressions formulated in the philosophy of punishment – normative and descriptive. The former are a matter of axiology and normative models, whereas the latter constitute a description of existing systems of criminal responsibility. The considerations are centred on a retributive model. The model of retributivism involves normative premises and consists in seeing these premises not as unconditionally binding directives, but as optimization rules, a kind of prima facie duty. These are mainly the quasi-legal duties of the state considered from the point of view of criminal policy. Retributivism can be seen as a set of norms (rules) for constructing legal system. The core of the paper consists in outlining such a concept. The inspiration for it was provided above all by the ideas of the Polish legal theory, R. Dworkin, W. D. Ross and R. Alexy, and modern retributivists.

Sažetak
U radu se pokušava analizirati filozofija kažnjavanja iz normativne perspektive te prodrijeti u strukturu temeljnih premisa i teza retributivizma. O konceptima kažnjavanja raspravlja se s obzirom na dva konteksta i tipa izražavanja koji su izgrađeni u filozofiji kažnjavanja – normativni i deskriptivni. Prvi pripadaju području aksiologije i normativnih modela, dok drugi opisuju postojeće sustave kaznene odgovornosti. Rasprava u radu pritom je usredotočena na retributivni model. Model retributivizma uključuje normativne premise te ih ne smatra bezuvjetno obvezujućim smjernicama nego pravilima optimizacije, na određeni način prima facie obvezom. To su u prvom redu kvazipravne obveze države promatrane sa stajališta kaznene politike. Retributivizam se može shvatiti kao skup normi (pravila) za izgradnju pravnog sustava. Jezgra je rada upravo razrada toga koncepta, pri čemu su inspiraciju za navedeni pristup dale teze iznesene u poljskoj teoriji prava te djela i ideje R. Dworkina, W. D. Rossa i R. Alexya, kao i modernih retributivista.
