The Absolute Violation: Why Torture Must Be Prohibited

The Absolute Violation: Why Torture Must Be Prohibited by Richard S. Matthews
English | 2008 | ISBN: 0773534229, 0773534512, 9780773534223, 9780773534513, B00CS5BLMQ | 256 Pages | EPUB | 1.92 MB

Richard Matthews challenges the increasing acceptability of state-sponsored torture interrogation, repudiating any possible justifications. He confronts its various supporters - ticking time bomb and tragic choice theorists, utilitarians, legal scholars - and draws from philosophy, medicine, psychiatry, survivor and torturer narratives, history, feminism, the experience of working intelligence officials, anthropology, and game theory to illustrate that no moral justification for torture can be supported.
