Ethics for Enemies comprises three original philosophical essays on
torture, terrorism, and war. F. M. Kamm deploys ethical theory in
her challenging new treatments of these most controversial
practical issues. First she considers the nature of torture and the
various occasions on which it could occur, in order to determine
why it might be wrong to torture a wrongdoer held captive, even if
this were necessary to save his victims. In the second essay she
considers what makes terrorism wrong--whether it is the intention
to harm civilians, rather than harm to them being 'collateral
damage, ' or something else--and whether terrorism is always wrong.
The third essay discusses whether having a right reason, in the
sense of a right intention, is necessary in order for a war to be
just. Kamm then examines ways in which the harms of war can be
proportional to the achievement of the just cause and other goods
that war can bring about, so as to make the declaration of war
permissible.
