Arthur Ripstein's lectures focus on the two bodies of rules
governing war: the jus ad bellum, which regulates resort to armed
force, and the jus in bello, which sets forth rules governing the
conduct of armed force and applies equally to all parties. Ripstein
argues that recognizing both sets of rules as distinctive
prohibitions, rather than as permissions, can reconcile the
supposed tension between them. He contends that the law and
morality of war are in fact aligned, because the central wrong of
war is that war is the condition which force decides. In his first
lecture, "Rules for Wrongdoers," he explains how moral principles
governing an activity apply even to those who are not permitted to
engage in them. In his second lecture, "Combatants and Civilians,"
he develops a parallel account of the distinction between
combatants and civilians. The volume includes an introduction by
editor Saira Mohamed and subsequent essays by commentators Oona A.
Hathaway, Christopher Kutz, and Jeff McMahan. Rules for Wrongdoers
represents a major statement on the ethics of war by one of the
most distinguished thinkers in the field.
