This book searches for sense in the wake of the terrorist attacks of 9\/11. Consisting of fourteen essays written by leading philosophers, most of which have been specially commissioned for this volume, it offers a philosophical reflection on the implications of 9\/11. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe contributors engage with a broad range of issues associated with the causes and consequences of 9\/11, including American imperialism, anti-Americanism, Bush’s ‘War on Terror’, the idea of pre-emptive war, and the role of the media. They consider how 9\/11 has altered the terms and categories of philosophical debate, looking at changes in the conception of moral and political reasoning, rationality and responsibility, and the repercussions for justice, human rights and international law.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wiley-Blackwell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47990309552357,"sku":"NP9781405108935","price":43.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9781405108935.jpg?v=1761787300","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/the-philosophical-challenge-of-september-11-isbn-9781405108935","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
