This book explores how issues of ethics in war and warfare have
been treated by major ethical traditions of Asia. It opens a
discussion about whether there are universal standards in the
ideologies of warfare between the major religious traditions of the
world.
While the chapters are written by specialists in Asian cultures,
some of the conceptual apparatus is drawn from the scholarly
discourse on just war, developed in the study of the ethical
tradition of Christianity. Taking a comparative approach, the book
looks at six different Asian religious, philosophical and political
traditions: Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism, China and Japan;
and is organized according to geography. This innovative approach
opens a new field of research on war and ideology, and extends the
debate on modern warfare, universalism and human rights.
