The â Ethicsâ of Terror and Terrorism
The Group Psychology of War and Peace
Albert Einstein and Sigmund Freud engaged in one of the twentieth century's most famous epistolary exchanges, commencing on July 30, 1932, when Einstein addressed “the most insistent of all problem
The “Ethics” of Terror and Terrorism
Over two millennia ago, during the waning days of the Roman Republic, the great orator and statesman Cicero asked, “What can be done against force, without force?” Cicero was rewarded for his effort to pose a possibly nonviolent solution to Rome’s internal political struggles—with summary assassination. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorit…
Overview
T his part examines the powerful rhetorical frames used to communicate about the “global war on terrorism” (GWOT). As in all wars, adversaries in the GWOT must fight on two primary battlefronts: the physical war waged with lethal weapons and the information war waged using communication media as weapons. Controversies that arise in every war are: how to determine the ethical obligations of journalists as they investigate and report on the war, ho…
Overview
T errorism is a vexing term. Any actual or threatened attack against civilian noncombatants, and, arguably, against soldiers, police, and political leaders, may be considered an act of “terrorism.” “Terrorists” are people who typically feel unable to confront their perceived enemies directly and who accordingly use violence, or the threat of violence, usually against noncombatants, to achieve their political aims. These keywords were added by mac…
Overview
Part four questions whether specific initiatives in the U.S.-led GWOT have remained true to the moral high ground that democratic nations aspire to or have slipped over to the dark side that is beyond the reach of domestic and international law and natural human rights. Specific areas of concern, all related to radical departures from established rule of law, include expanded government secrecy and surveillance, enhanced interrogation and torture…
Conclusion
The “Global War on Terror” (GWOT) has entered its second decade, and may continue indefinitely. Since September 11, 2001, the world in general and the American and British publics in particular have become acutely aware of international terrorism and its devastating effects on the bodies, minds, and hearts of its victims. But while great attention has been paid to the military and geopolitical dimensions of terrorism and counterterrorism, relativ…
Overview
T his section provides in-depth examinations of ethical, political, and legal rationales for and against war in general and the invasion of Iraq in particular. The contributors note the complexities and challenges posed by theoretical and practical efforts to come to terms with warfare and mass slaughter. And by analyzing the ongoing war on terrorism, they assess the advantages and disadvantages of violent and nonviolent means adopted to advance …
The Ethics and Efficacy of the Global War on Terrorism
Presenting the reader with provocative articles that critically examine the morality of the war on terrorism as it has evolved over the past eight years, this book consists of articles that effectivel
Are We ‘Beyond Good and Evil’
In this essay, we criticize the tacit radical psychological materialist reduction of mental to brain behavior and the consequent ‘elimination’ of ethical categories from ‘scientific’ discourse. Our argument, following Wittgenstein, is that we do not know that a connection exists—causal or otherwise—between physical/brain and mental processes. Following Chomsky, we may never know whether it exists, because there is a crucial explanatory gap betwee…
Terror, Terrorism, and the Human Condition
This book is an attempt to clarify the often murky connections between terrorism, terrorists, and terror. It is designed for the general educated audience interested in recent events, the history lead

A Beggar's Tales
Bronner's first novel, A Beggar's Tale, is such a discordant work, one that merits attention for many reasons. Like many modernist and avant-garde novels, A Beggar's Tales seems primarily to have been written for other writers and progressive critics almost faute de mieux; a public reared on Irving Wallace and Steven Spielberg is unlikely to be afforded access to, much less enjoy, books such as Bronner's. The substantive existential and materiali…
