Is it morally distinctive? Can it be morally justified? Igor Primoratz seeks to overcome relativism and the double standards that often plague debates about terrorism. He investigates the main ethical approaches to terrorism: in terms of its consequences, rights and justice, "supreme emergency," and the collective responsibility of citizens. The book provides a rigorous, yet accessible analysis of a range of moral positions, from the acceptance of terrorism when its consequences are good on balance to its absolute rejection. Primoratz argues that terrorism is almost absolutely wrong. It may be morally justified only when an entire people is facing a true moral disaster, and this should be understood in a highly restrictive way. Conceptual analysis and normative arguments about the practice of terrorism are complemented by case studies of the terror bombing of German cities in World War II and the role of terrorism in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Terrorism: A Philosophical Investigation will be essential reading for researchers and students of philosophy and politics, as well as for the general reader seeking to understand and evaluate acts and campaigns of terrorism."--Page 4 of cover. 650 0 $a Terrorism $x Philosophy. 650 7 $a Terrorism $x Philosophy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01148117 650 7 $a Terrorismus. $0 (DE-588)4059534-1 $2 gnd 650 7 $a Politische Philosophie. $0 (DE-588)4076226-9 $2 gnd 856 41 $u http://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1305/2012277151-t.html $z Table of contents only 856 42 $u http://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1305/2012277151-b.html $z Contributor biographical information 856 42 $u http://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1305/2012277151-d.html $z Publisher description 941 $a 2 952 $l OZAX845 $d 20240525040958.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20171220024946.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5F4C63324A8111E7A5A8299FDAD10320 994 $a 92 $b IOOInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
