This book addresses the morality of engaging in weapons research, a
topic that has been neglected but which is extremely important. It
is argued that this activity is both morally wrong and morally
unjustifiable, and this implies that moral persons should not
engage in it. The argument is not based on any pacifist
assumptions: it is not assumed that neither individuals nor states
should not defend themselves. What is wrong with weapons research
is that it is the first step in the production of weapons, weapons
are the means to harm, and harming without justification is always
wrong. Those who study science, for instance those who are
interested in the responsibilities of the scientist, are given a
new perspective, while those who are practicing scientists will
realize that they should not consider working to design new or
improved weapons systems. This book is of interest to students and
researchers working in ethics and technology, philosophy of
technology, military ethics, and history of technology.
