Description:
State torture has found a number of defenders in law, philosophy, and public policy. Their defences ignore the empirical literature on torture and thus misunderstand its nature and the damage it does, as well as accepting the illusory benefits it promises. This work questions the increasing acceptability of state-sponsored torture interrogation.
Synopsis:
An unprecedented, empirically rich philosophical challenge to the use of torture in state-sponsored interrogation.
