Finding a Right to Be Tortured

Abstract This essay explores some of the conflicts at the core of liberal rights by comparing Ian McEwan’s recent novel Saturday with Jeffrie Murphy’s igjz article, “Moral Death: A Kantian Essay on Psychopathy.” Read together, these texts describe the role of rights in the “war on terror,” particularly the way in which the terrorist (or person analogous to a terrorist) is easily defined within a liberal state as the person without rights. At the same time, however, the terrorist can also be described as a person who has different, more intrusive and amorphous rights. In contrast to the more familiar but elusive right “to be let alone,” these different rights—which in other contexts might be called welfare rights—include rights to be treated, cared for, and, if necessary, dominated and controlled. They are also rights that generalize beyond the context of terrorism.
