| Publisher Description: 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. |
