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.
