Abstract
Professor Honderich took part in a panel discussion on terrorism and war at the 2011thinking-persons festival in Hay-on-Wye, that second festival, the one for philosophy and music. CalledHow The Light Gets In, it is the invention of Hilary Lawson and a further contribution of some of theLawson family to the civilizing not only of the Welsh but also the English. The other participants inthe panel discussion on terrorism and war were Yvonne Ridley, the English journalist of the Left whoat least honourably and bravely converted to Islam after her experience of the Taliban in Afghanistan,and who has since become a Respect Party politician, and Mark Littlewood, former Head of Mediafor the Liberal Democrat Party and now director-general of the Institute of Economic Affairs. Thechairman was Rana Mitter, Oxford professor of the history and politics of modern China. Here belowis a sketch of Ted Honderich’s intended remarks, very many of which could not be uttered on the occasion.More was said by him on another subject in the festival, in the lecture Being Conscious—FromMetaphors to Theory.
