about the quoted person:

quote may be taken from the title of honderich's 1989 bundle of essays called Violence for Equality: Inquiries in Political Philosophy.honderich is a canadian-born philosopher, specialised in the philosophy of mind and action. in this section he wrote a lot about free will and determination and the way these two can be combined on a higher level. he also wrote a lot in practical philosophy: about egalitarian theories and ethical priniples. he states that terrorism, about which he writes among other works in violence for equality, is morally defensible from a utilitarian and egalitarian view. because capitalist societies haven't been able to eliminate the poverty in the third world, the third world has the right to strike back. he was surrounded by a lot of controverse when he defended palestinian suicide bombers and said that the terrorist attack on september 11th was caused by the international policy of the usa themselves.
