A thoughtful treatment of terrorism, synthesizing recent world events with the ideas of major philosophers including Plato, Hobbes, Nietzsche, and others to provide a foundation of hope for the future. Did the world change on September 11, 2001? For those who live outside of New York or Washington, life's familiar pace persists and families and jobs resume their routines. Yet everything seems different because of the dramatic disturbance in our sense of what our world means and how we exist within it. In A Delicate Balance , philosopher Trudy Govier writes that it is because our feelings and attitudes have altered so fundamentally that our world has changed. Govier believes that there are ethical challenges we cannot ignore. From Plato and Aristotle on courage to Kant on revenge, to 20th Century philosopher John Rawlss views on justice, Govier mines the world of philosophy to reflect on terrorism. Govier argues that moral complexities such as victimhood, evil, power and revenge, if properly understood, can provide a basis for hope not despair. Govier walks the reader through this shift, challenging us to construct a new sense of the world and our place within it.
Philosopher, author, and lecturer, Trudy Govier has written many articles on topics ranging from self-deception to nuclear deterrence, and several books including her latest, Forgiveness and Revenge, endorsed by Desmond Tutu. Trudy Govier stands out among philosophers for her clear, energetic style and sensitive use of examples.
