Sartre and the Moral Limits of War and Terrorism

Looking at Jean-Paul Sartre’s works on ethics and politics, this book examines the relevancy and importance Sartre holds for contemporary concerns including the reactionary nature of terrorism, the extremity of counter-violence, and the limitations of democratization efforts in our post-9/11 era.

"Ang has written an interesting book that will undoubtedly be revisited in the coming months within the context of the ongoing struggles in the Middle East and North Africa. Sartre and the Moral Limits of War and Terrorism is yet another example of why Sartre’s writing remains relevant to the twenty-first century, and another reason why, to repeat Sartre’s The Problem of Method, philosophy is always ‘a social and political weapon’." -- Marx & Philosophy Review of Books
