RUIZ-MORALES, Manuel L.. The Corruption as Crime in the Thought of the Nineteenth Century. An Outline of the Penal Establishment in the History from Philosophy. Estud.

This article analyses from a historical and philosophical approach corruption's establishment as an offensive or criminal behavior by the thinkers of the nineteenth century. Accordingly, it will study the illegal meaning given to the corrupt-operations during that century. Nevertheless, this writing will also attend to other historical and political aspects in order to contextualize and facilitate the understanding of the analysis because a moment's specific thought is indissoluble to its appended circumstances. Finally, it will observe the nineteenth century proposed solutions from a philosophical point of view of mainly utilitarian nature. Therefore, if the governments around the world implemented the anti-corruption proposals of the great thinkers of the history of humanity, it would respond effectively against corruption probably. Thus, the initiatives for combating the corruption nowadays haven't undergone significant innovations, while the philosophers -from ancient times- built mechanisms anti-corruption more ambitious.

Keywords : Corruption; crime; philosophy; nineteenth century; solutions.
