Terrorism poses vexing problems for which there are no easy
solutions. "Philosophy 9/11" explores common ideas about terrorism
from different perspectives, and poses new ideas to deepen
understanding of this crucial subject. The book's contributors
represent diverse areas of expertise, including ethics, law,
politics, feminist theory, the military, and aesthetics. Among the
points raised are: the central issue of terrorism itself and how it
differs from other types of violence, why the term "war on terror"
is misleading, ways to fight terror without engaging in terrorist
activities, the legitimacy of the "just war" theory, the notion of
targeted killings and preemptive military strikes as appropriate
responses, the classification of captured terrorists as enemy
combatants or criminals, and whether the use of torture is ever
morally justified. Of interest to scholars, policymakers, and
anyone who simply wants to examine the subject in greater depth,
the chapters offer a wide range of viewpoints and provide
thoughtful analysis of this critical topic.
