Spanish to English Social Sciences Philosophy

The philosophy paper from hell:

The sentence with the ** is giving me no end of troubles.

I am not sure how to form the verb in the last part of the sentence, or if I have transmitted the meaning of that section more or less correctly. Any ideas? TIA :)



Desde luego la ética kantiana que Weber pone como ejemplo de ética de la intención presenta un justamente agudísimo sentido de la responsabilidad. Está en las antípodas del realismo y la mundanidad de Kant ese momento de locura apocalíptica que se alberga en el provocador dictum Fiat iustitia, pereat mundus. **Aquello famoso de que antes de que un pueblo abandone su territorio por la presión del enemigo, debe ocuparse de ajusticiar a los condenados a pena capital, que sigue escandalizando nuestros tiernos oídos, responde a una genuina preocupación por el mundo.**

My rough draft:

Of course the Kantian ethics that Weber uses as an example of the ethics of intention presents a fairly shrewd sense of responsibility. He is diametrically opposed to the realism and worldliness of Kant, that moment of apocalyptic madness that is held in the provocative dictum Fiat iustitia, pereat mundus. **That famous dictum that says that before the people of a town were to abandon their territory due to pressure from an enemy, they should be sentenced to death, that dictum that continues to scandalize our tender ears, answering to a genuine concern for the world.
