Rezension zu „Terrorism “
"What terrorism demands, from Americans in their power above all, is moral intelligence. Corlett's book provides nothing else. It applies an articulated morality to terrorism and to civil disobedience. It links these, originally, with secession. It makes philosophy work in the world we now know. It is clear, scholarly, reflective and argued thinking, essential to all of us. It seeks truths in passions. You do not have to agree with all of it to know it's value." (Ted Honderich, Grote Professor Emeritus, University College London, UK)"Terrorism: A Philosophical Analysis is an unusually thorough, careful treatment with some rather surprising tentative conclusions about terrorism and secession. This is a book that will challenge the serious reader, indeed. Corlett goes in for careful analysis, and doesn't flinch at conclusions that might be unwelcome to some. He's owed an answer, for sure." (Jan Narveson, Professor of Ethics and Political Philosophy, University of Waterloo, Canada)
