Just Liberal Violence

Meer over het boek

The book critically analyzes the concept of 'just liberal violence,' exploring how direct and structural violence can be rationalized as acceptable. Michael Neu scrutinizes liberal justifications for practices such as torture, war, and sweatshop labor, arguing that these defenses are fundamentally flawed. He posits that despite their differing contexts, the failures of these justifications share common underlying issues, prompting a reevaluation of how violence is perceived within liberal frameworks.
