Traditionalist, Walzerian, and "revisionist" approaches have dominated contemporary debates about the classical jus ad bellum and jus in bello requirements in just war theory. In this book, Uwe Steinhoff corrects widely spread misinterpretations of these competing views and spells out the implications for the ethics of war. His approach is unique in that it complements the usual analysis in terms of self-defense with an emphasis on the importance of other justifications that are often lumped together under the heading of "lesser evil." It also draws on criminal law and legal scholarship, which has been largely ignored by just war theorists. Ultimately, Steinhoff rejects arguments in favor of "moral fundamentalism"— the view that the laws and customs of war must simply follow an immutable morality. In contrast, he argues that widely accepted laws and conventions of war are partly constitutive of the moral rules that apply in a conflict.''-- c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a War $x Moral and ethical aspects. 650 0 $a Just war doctrine. 650 0 $a War (Philosophy) 650 7 $a Just war doctrine. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00985112 650 7 $a War $x Moral and ethical aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01170352 650 7 $a War (Philosophy) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01170420 830 0 $a Routledge research in applied ethics. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231018024137.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=05BDC89A9F4311EBBB7E29A634ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
