The War on Terror and the Framework of International Law

The War on Terror and the Framework of International Law

The acts of lawlessness committed on September 11, 2001 have been followed by a ‘war on terror’. This book considers the law relevant to assessing how such terrorist’ acts should be understood in legal terms, which responses to them are permissible and how those responses are to be pursued. It considers some of the actions that have unfolded since 9/11 (military intervention, law enforcement initiatives, human rights restrictions and abuse) prompting questions as to the ‘war on terror’s lawfulness. The volume clearly designates areas of international law where interest has escalated beyond traditional academic legal circles.

The Image in Mind

The Image in Mind

A philosophical inquiry into the strengths and weaknesses of theism and naturalism in accounting for the emergence of consciousness, the visual imagination and aesthetic values. The authors begin by offering an account of modern scientific practice which gives a central place to the visual imagination and aesthetic values. They then move to test the explanatory power of naturalism and theism in accounting for consciousness and the very visual imagination and aesthetic values that lie behind and define modern science. Taliaferro and Evans argue that evolutionary biology alone is insufficient to account for consciousness, the visual imagination and aesthetic values. Insofar as naturalism is compelled to go beyond evolutionary biology, it does not fare as well as theism in terms of explanatory power.
