Many of these discussions are, however, one-sided with other perspectives either ignored or quickly dismissed with minimal argument. In On the Ethics of Torture, Uwe Steinhoff provides a complete account of the philosophical debate surrounding this highly contentious subject. Steinhoff's position is that torture is sometimes, under certain narrowly circumscribed conditions, justified, basing his argument on the right to self-defense. His position differs from that of other authors who, using other philosophical justifications, would permit torture under a wider set of conditions. After having given the reader a thorough account of the main arguments for permitting torture under certain circumstances, Steinhoff explains and addresses the many objections that have been raised to employing torture under any circumstances. This is an indispensible work for anyone interested in one of the most controversial subjects of our times.TortureMoral and ethical aspectsPunishmentMoral and ethical aspectsTortureMoral and ethical aspects.PunishmentMoral and ethical aspects.172/.2Steinhoff Uwe1808167MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910957631703321On the ethics of torture4358284UNINA
