Terrorism, Evil, and Everyday Depravity
Hypatia 18 (1):157 - 163 (2003)
| Abstract | This essay expresses ambivalence about the use of the term "evil" in analyses of terrorism in light of the association of the two in speeches intended to justify the United States' "war on terrorism." At the same time, the essay suggests that terrorism can be regarded as "evil" but only when considered among a multiplicity of "evils" comparable to it, for example: rape, war crimes, and repression. | |||||||||
