The Knowles Lecture in Political Philosophy: Professor Quassim Cassam - Defining Terrorism
Professor Quassim Cassam will discuss discussing how we define terrorism highlighting recent events in Southport at the University Of Glasgow's Knowles Lecture in Political Philosophy.
About The Knowles Lecture in Political Philosophy: Professor Quassim Cassam - Defining Terrorism
Recent events in Southport have focused public attention on the definition of terrorism. Some critics see the Southport murders as false negatives for the official definition of terrorism in the UK. On this view, this definition failed to classify as terrorism acts of violence that should have been so classified. The definition also generates potential false positives: acts that it mistakenly classifies as terrorism. However, before amending the definition, account needs to be taken of insights from the philosophy of definition.
