The modern ethics of war is a field of disparate, competing voices
based on often unexplored theological and metaphysical assumptions.
Therese Feiler approaches them from the borderline area between
systematics, philosophical theology and religious studies. With
reference to G. W. F. Hegel's and like-minded thinkers'
'theo–logic' that negotiates Christ’s mediation and immanent
dialectics, Feiler identifies the logic and problem of mediation as
the core concern of political ethics. Feiler unites five
representative authors from now disparate strands of contemporary
just war ethics, testing whether they offer a meaningful
possibility of mediation and subsequent reconciliation: a sovereign
realist and a cosmopolitan idealist; a rationalist individualist,
an idealist Christian ethicist, and finally, an evangelical
theologian. Opening the just war debate for comparative critical
engagement, Feiler creates a fascinating study that locates a
“dynamic point” at which faithful, free political action can be
wrestled from irony, tragedy, and melancholic inertia in the face
of totalitarian suffocation.
