Recent work by Stanley Hauerwas, Alasdair MacIntyre, and Robert
Bellah has brought considerable attention to bear on the ethics of
virtue. Little clarity has, however, emerged from that discussion
on what difference such an ethic would make in practical and
political deliberations. Warcraft and the Fragility of Virtue
presents, for the first time, a well-developed and effective
Aristotelian perspective on reasoning about war and warfare.Author
G. Scott Davis first sketches the fundamentals of as Aristotelian
approach to the ethics of war, arguing that the virtue is a craft,
of itself fragile, that must be sustained by a community that makes
the highest demands upon itself. Introduced as a criterion for
evaluating alliances and international relations, the concept of
moral community is also of the highest significance for
interpreting those ruptures within the community, including
resistance and rebellion, that arise concomitantly with the
prospect and onset of war.
