Israel, Palestine and Terror

Editat de Dr Stephen Law
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 7 iun 2008
This extraordinary book brings together the thoughts of 15 pre-eminent philosophers on one of the most important political and cultural crises of our time. As we begin to realize the extent to which terrorism and the Israel/Palestine conflict-and the ways in which we handle them-are likely to determine the shaping of the West of the future, this short and accessible book introduces all the key issues from a philosophical perspective. Introduced by Stephen Law, Israel, Palestine and Terror presents a powerful and provocative overview of a hugely topical debate. It presents a whole range of political and philosophical views and perspectives to illuminate this contentious issue. Contributors include such leading figures as Noam Chomsky and Ted Honderich.

Recenzii

'This is a brilliant, timely and important philosophical debate about the meaning and legitimacy of terrorism in the ongoing conflict between Israel and Palestine against the background of history.' Tony Benn
'A rich and valuable collection of essays exploring the morality of terrorism from different points of view.  The essays combine philosophical rigour with political commitment, and show what a politically engaged philosophy at its best can contribute to public life.' Bhikhu Parekh, Professor of Political Philosophy, University of Westminster, UK
