This volume, first published in 2004, offers an interesting
perspective on the discussion of weapons of mass destruction (WMD)
by broadening the terms of the debate to include both secular and
religious investigations not normally considered. The volume
contains a structured dialogue between representatives of the
following ethical traditions: Buddhism, Christianity, Confucianism,
feminism, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism, liberalism, natural law,
pacifism, and realism. There are two introductory chapters on the
technical aspects of WMD and international agreements for
controlling WMD. A concluding essay compares the different ethical
traditions. All the authors address the same set of moral issues
and this creates a dialogue both within and across traditions. The
debate structure is particularly useful and appealing for
pedagogical purposes. The introductory essays on the technical and
legal aspects of WMD could easily be used to introduce the subject
to students.
