'With large questions of right and wrong, there is a division of labour. So, with the attack on three subway trains and a bus in London on July 7, 2005. Of what moral relevance, if any, was the fact that the British army had been engaged in the killing of greatly more of a people with whom the terrorists identified? Of what relevance, as a newspaper article asked a week later, was the fact that the British prime minister put his own people at risk in the service of a foreign power?' So begins Ted Honderich's intelligent and thoughtful analysis in Terrorism and Humanity. Looking in detail at the situation in Palestine, 9/11, the war in Iraq and the events of 7/7, Terrorism and Humanity provides a thoughtful and perceptive exploration of the 'biggest' issue facing the western world today.
Ted Honderich is Grote Professor Emeritus of Mind and Logic at University College London. His many publications include How Free are You? Philosopher: A Kind of Life, The Oxford Companion to Philosophy, Conservatism: Burke, Nozick, Bush, Blair, Terrorism for Humanity and After the Terror.
