Most of us take it for granted that wars in defence of one's
political community are the quintessential just wars. Indeed, while
in recent years philosophers have subjected all of our other
assumptions about just war theory to radical revision, this
principle has emerged largely unscathed. But what underpins the
morality of defensive war? In this book, leading moral and
political philosophers both show the profoundly challenging nature
of that question, and advance novel answers to it. The first part
exposes the deep tension between the individualist foundations of
much contemporary philosophy and plausible conclusions about the
morality of defensive war. The second part offers an individualist
attempt to resolve that tension, while the third seeks to justify
defensive war by appeal to more collectivist values.
