Terrorism, Evil, and Everyday Depravity
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 25 March 2020
Abstract
This essay expresses ambivalence about the use of the term “evil” in analyses of terrorism in light of the association of the two in speeches intended to justify the United States’“war on terrorism.” At the same time, the essay suggests that terrorism can be regarded as “evil” but only when considered among a multiplicity of “evils” com-parable to it, for example: rape, war crimes, and repression.
