The world responded with horror to ISIS's campaign of destruction
of cultural heritage across the Middle East, including with calls
for an international response to prevent such damage. At the same
time, newspapers and screens were filled with images of human
destruction, devastated cities, and thousands of refugees fleeing
the conflict. This juxtaposition caused a backlash against those
voicing their concerns about the destruction of ancient ruins,
popularly framed as dispute about 'stone versus lives'. In the face
of so much human suffering, it can seem inappropriate to worry
about anything but the urgent, basic needs of people. Heritage and
War addresses this issue within the context of a wider debate,
amidst a range of moral questions. Eleven original essays
investigate a variety of philosophical and moral questions arising
from the phenomenon of heritage destruction in war, such how we
ought to respond to heritage that is damaged in war, the nature of
the harm caused by such damage, and the morally appropriate
treatment of sites of war and conflict that have themselves become
heritage sites. Such issues are philosophically rich, and yet they
have been largely neglected by academic philosophers. This book
makes a substantial contribution to developing this new
philosophical territory and identifying the role that philosophers
have to play in developing our understanding of and responses to
these important issues.
