The "Ethics of War" is a much-needed anthology addressing issues both timely and age- old about the nature of war. When is recourse to arms morally justifiable? What moral constraints should apply to military conduct? How can a lasting peace be achieved? Over the past two and a half millennia, a substantive body of ethical reflection has emerged in response to these and similar questions. This volume offers a collection of texts by ancient, medieval, and modern thinkers. Never before have such seminal texts on the ethics of war been gathered together in a single volume. The "Ethics of War" is an indispensable resource for philosophers, students, and general readers alike.
