The Ethics of War: Classic and Contemporary Readings

The Ethics of War: Classic and Contemporary Readings





The Ethics of War is a much-needed anthology addressing issues both timely and age-old about the nature of war. When is recourse to arms morally justifiable? What moral constraints should apply to military conduct? How can a lasting peace be achieved? Over the past two and a half millennia a substantive body of ethical reflection has emerged in response to these and similar questions. This volume offers a collection of essays by classic and medieval philosophers, as well as thinkers of the modern age.

Never before have such seminal texts on the ethics of war been gathered together in a single volume. Expertly introduced by the editors, and including marginal notes for guidance, The Ethics of War is an indispensable resource for philosophers, students, and general readers alike.
