Philosophy 9/11: Thinking about the War on Terrorism

Many of the most pressing questions raised by terrorism are philosophical in nature. This book explores the crucial ethical and theoretical issues, such as: What is terrorism and how is it different from other types of violence? Do recent terrorist attacks constitute a fundamentally new type of terrorism? How can a nation conduct a just war against terrorists? Is torture of terrorists during interrogation ever justified? Philosophers and terrorism experts answer these pressing moral and political questions with clarity and wisdom.
