«A Confiança no Mundo» is José Sócrates's essay on torture in democracy, published by Verbo in 2013 in paperback (192 pages, in Portuguese).
José Sócrates analyses how some democracies, in their fight against terrorism, have tried to legalise torture as an exceptional measure. He examines historical and ethical arguments, warns of the damage to democratic institutions, and dismantles the fallacies that justify it even if its intensity or duration is limited.
The work includes a preface by Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and falls within the categories of history and philosophy.
For readers interested in political philosophy, ethics, and the debate on human rights and terrorism.
