Books by Professor Nicholas Fotion

Terrorism poses an undeniable threat to societies throughout the world today. But how has terrorist activity evolved in the last 100 years, and what are the ethical costs of terrorism? This book features three philosophers, all experts on the ethics of conflict, who examine the various definitions of terrorism and the nature of martyr terrorism.

The US-led invasion of Iraq in 2003 prompted unprecedented public interest in the ethics of war, a debate that has raged furiously in the media, in politics and in the public consciousness ever since. This book explores the notion of developing an ethical theory that guides the behaviour of those who are at war.
