<span><span>'This book critically examines </span><span>"</span><span>just liberal violence</span><span>"</span><span>: forms of direct and structural violence that others may be </span><span>"</span><span>justly</span><span>"</span><span> subjected to. Michael Neu focusses on liberal defences of torture, war and sweatshop labour</span><span>,</span><span> respectively, and argues tha</span><span>t </span><span>e</span><span>ach</span><span> of these defences fails an</span><span>d that </span><span>a</span><span>ll</span><span> of them fail for similar reasons. <br><br>Liberal defences of violence share several blind spots, and it is the task of this book to reveal them. Neu offers a unifying perspective that reveals the three kinds of defence of violence under investigation as being essentially one of a kind. He demonstrates that each of these defences suffers from serious and irreparable intellectual defects an</span><span>d ar</span><span>ticulates these defects in a synthesised critique. The book goes on to accuse liberal defenders of bein</span><span>g c</span><span>omplicit </span><span>in contemporary structures and practices of violence,</span><span> and highlights the implications of this argument for moral and political philosophers who spend their professional lives thinking about </span><span>morality and politics</span><span>.' </span></span>
<span><span>This book critically examines 'just liberal violence': forms of direct and structural violence that others may be 'justly' subjected to. Michael Neu focusses on liberal defences of torture, war and sweatshop labour respectively, and argues that (a) </span><span>each</span><span> of these defences fails and (b) </span><span>all</span><span> of them fail for similar reasons. <br></span></span>
