| Description: |
This study of war and the ethics of statecraft was written at the heart of the Vietnam era in 1968 and now speaks to a new generation. Paul Ramsey argues that whether a particular war should be fought, and at what level of violence, depends on one's count of the moral costs and benefits. |
| Synopsis: |
With a new foreword by noted theologian and ethicist Stanley Hauerwas, this classic text on war and the ethics of modern statecraft written at the height of the Vietnam era in 1968 speaks to a new generation of readers. Characterized by a sophisticated yet back-to-basics approach, The Just War begins with the assumption that force is a fact in political life which must either be reckoned with or succumbed to. It then grapples with modern challenges to traditional moral principles of "just conduct" in war, the "morality of deterrence," and a "just war theory of statecraft." |
