This book offers a philosophical analysis of the moral and legal
justifications for the use of force. While the book focuses on the
ethics self-defense, it also explores its relation to lesser evil
justifications, public authority, the justification of punishment,
and the ethics of war. Steinhoff's account of the moral use of
force covers a wide range of topics, including the nature of
justification in general, the precise elements of different
justifications, the logic of claim- and liberty-rights and of
rights forfeiture, the value of human life and its limits, and the
principles of reciprocity and precaution. While the author's
analysis is primarily philosophical, it is informed by a
metaethical stance that also places heavy emphasis on existing law
and legal scholarship. In doing so, the book appeals to widely
shared moral intuitions, precepts, and concepts grounded in
criminal law. Self-Defense, Necessity, and Punishment offers the
most comprehensive and systematic account of the ethics of
self-defense. It will be of interest to scholars and graduate
students working in applied ethics and moral philosophy, philosophy
of law, and political philosophy.
