Description

This book raises important questions about the uses and ethics of political violence - questions that are all the more pertinent in the light of recent events and the 'war on terror'. What can be said for and against terrorism and political violence?

When is such terrorism right, if it ever is, and when is it wrong?

Ted Honderich challenges the presuppositions, inconsistencies and prejudices of liberal-democratic thinking.

He tackles such emotive subjects as the IRA, the PLO and the ANC, arguing the importance of understanding the justification for political violence in all manifestations.

Exploring the moral issues that lie at the heart of these difficult questions, Honderich reminds us that political philosophy should be an attempt to inquire with an open mind - and that to open one's mind is not necessarily to lose one's convictions.
