Supplier out of stock. If you add this item to your wish list we will let you know when it becomes available.
|
In a world riven with conflict, violence and war, this book
proposes a philosophical defense of pacifism. It argues that there
is a moral presumption against war and unless that presumption is
defeated, war is unjustified. Leading philosopher of non-violence
Robert Holmes contends that neither just war theory nor the
rationales for recent wars (Vietnam, the Gulf War, the Iraq and
Afghanistan Wars) defeat that presumption, hence that war in the
modern world is morally unjustified. A detailed, comprehensive and
elegantly argued text which guides both students and scholars
through the main debates (Just War Theory and double effect to name
a few) clearly but without oversimplifying the complexities of the
issues or historical examples.
