Biography
Igor Primoratz writes on moral, political and legal philosophy. In his current research he focuses in particular on the ethics of war, where he works within the just war tradition, and on terrorism, which he considers “almost absolutely” wrong. Another central research interest at present is patriotism: how it differs from nationalism, what are its main varieties and what are their moral credentials? He is Professor Emeritus of Philosophy at the Hebrew University, Jerusalem.
