Spirituality and the Ethics of Torture

Spirituality and the Ethics of Torture

by Derek S . Jeffreys (Author)

Synopsis

What exactly is torture? Should we torture suspected terrorists if they have information about future violent acts? Defining torture carefully, the book defends the idea that all people are valuable, and rejects moral defenses of torture. It focuses particularly on practices like sensory deprivation, which perniciously attack the human psyche.
