Ted Honderich is one of the world's foremost philosophers of the Left. This is a revised edition of his classic text, Violence for Equality: Inquiries in Political Philosophy. It became a benchmark in political philosophy twenty years ago and came out in three editions. Now revised and updated, Terrorism for Humanity raises fundamental questions about the morality of terrorism or political violence -- questions that are cruelly inescapable in the light of recent events and the 'war on terror'. What is to be said for and against the terrorism that is directed to the goal of the Principle of Humanity -- the rescuing of people from lives of wretchedness? When is such terrorism right, if ever, and when is it wrong? Why is it wrong? In six lucid essays, Honderich challenges the presuppositions, prejudices and inconsistencies of liberal-democratic thinking. He takes hold of subjects with strong implications for liberation-terrorism, including Palestinian terrorism. He refuses to accept that the questions that arise are easily answered. Exploring the moral issues that lie at the heart of his subject, he reminds us that political philosophy should be an attempt to inquire with an open mind -- and that to open one's mind is not necessarily to lose one's convictions. This remarkable book will interest and challenge all teachers and students of philosophy and politics. It will capture anyone who wants actually to think about the morality of terrorism. Book jacket.

This book was released on 2015-07-23. Normal Life available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Revised and Expanded Edition Wait—what's wrong with rights? It is usually assumed that trans and gender nonconforming people should follow the civil rights and "equality" strategies of lesbian and gay rights organizations by agitating for legal reforms that would ostensibly guarantee nondiscrimination and equal protection under the law. This approach assumes that the best way to address the poverty and criminalization that plague trans populations is to gain legal recognition and inclusion in the state's institutions. But is this strategy effective? In Normal Life Dean Spade presents revelatory critiques of the legal equality framework for social change, and points to examples of transformative grassroots trans activism that is raising demands that go beyond traditional civil rights reforms. Spade explodes assumptions about what legal rights can do for marginalized populations, and describes transformative resistance processes and formations that address the root causes of harm and violence. In the new afterword to this revised and expanded edition, Spade notes the rapid mainstreaming of trans politics and finds that his predictions that gaining legal recognition will fail to benefit trans populations are coming to fruition. Spade examines recent efforts by the Obama administration and trans equality advocates to "pinkwash" state violence by articulating the US military and prison systems as sites for trans inclusion reforms. In the context of recent increased mainstream visibility of trans people and trans politics, Spade continues to advocate for the dismantling of systems of state violence that shorten the lives of trans people. Now more than ever, Normal Life is an urgent call for justice and trans liberation, and the radical transformations it will require.
