This book questions when, why, and how it is just for a people to
go to war, or to refrain from warring, in a post-9/11 world. To do
so, it explores Just War Theory (JWT) in relationship to recent
American accounts of the experience of war. The book analyses the
jus ad bellum criteria of just war-right intention, legitimate
authority, just cause, probability of success, and last
resort-before exploring jus in bello, or the law that governs the
way in which warfare is conducted. By combining just-war ethics and
sustained explorations of major works of twentieth and twenty-first
century American war writing, this study offers the first
book-length reflection on how JWT and literary studies can inform
one another fruitfully.
This introduction provides a comprehensive overview of the
development of Catholic ethics in the wake of the Second Vatican
Council (1962-5), an event widely considered crucial to the
reconciliation of the Catholic Church and the modern world. Andrew
Kim investigates Catholic responses to questions of moral theology
in all four principal areas: Catholic social teaching, natural law,
virtue ethics, and bioethics. In addition to discussing
contemporary controversies surrounding abortion, contraception,
labor rights, exploitation of the poor, and just war theory, he
explores the historical sources of the Catholic worldview.
Beginning with the moral vision revealed through the person of
Jesus Christ and continuing with elaborations on this vision from
figures such as Augustine and Aquinas, this volume elucidates the
continuity of the Catholic moral tradition. Its balance of
complexity and accessibility makes it an ideal resource for both
students of theology and general readers.
This volume contains five short stories by an up-and-coming author
who is a senior at Clarkstown High School in Rockland County in New
York. His short stories try to capture the angst of the American
teenager.
