Moral Philosophy After 9/11

In Moral Philosophy After 9/11, author Joseph Margolis delves into the complex ethical landscape shaped by the events of September 11, 2001. Published by Pennsylvania State University Press in 2004, this thought-provoking paperback spans 168 pages and challenges conventional views on morality. Margolis confronts the contentious debate surrounding the classification of the 9/11 attackers as either "freedom fighters" or "terrorist murderers." By moving away from the universal moral principles of traditional Anglo-American analytic philosophy, he proposes an alternative framework that acknowledges the absence of neutral ground in moral disputes. This insightful exploration is essential reading for anyone interested in ethics, moral philosophy, and the implications of terrorism in the 21st century. Discover how Margolis invites readers to rethink moral judgments in a post-9/11 world.
