About the Book

Beginning by posing the question of what it is that marks the difference between something like terrorism and something like civil society, Brassington argues that commonsense moral arguments against terrorism or political violence tend to imply that the modern democratic polis might also be morally unjustifiable. At the same time, the commonsense arguments in favour of something like a modern democratic polis could be co-opted by the politically violent as exculpatory.

In exploring this prima facie problem and in the course of trying to substantiate the commonsense distinction, Brassington identifies a tension between the primary values of truth and normativity in the standard accounts of moral theory which he ultimately resolves by adopting lines of thought suggested by Martin Heidegger and concluding that the problem with mainstream moral philosophy is that, in a sense, it tries too hard.

Review :
There exists a commonplace in public opinion, as well as academia, that workers necessarily lean to the political left. This volume offers carefully researched cross-cultural European evidence to the contrary. A wonderful collection of top-notch scholarship.' Andrei S. Markovits, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, USA'...an important contribution to the understanding of, and the future research on, the effects of changing working life on individuals and the attraction of right-wing populist parties. It contains also a deeper understanding of why the constructions of immigrants as the others are so successful in recent times.'Online Magazine, www.fm5.at'The extensive use in all of the chapters of qualitative data in the form of quotes from the interviews is extremely informative on the everyday working experiences of people, on their interpretations and evaluations, and on their ideas about the extreme right...The overall result of this combination of qualitative and quantitative data is extremely informative, relevant and important...highly recommended.'Transfer - European Review of Labour and Research Quarterly of the ETYI-REHS Research Department
