Description

This comprehensive analysis examines warfare ethics in early China and traces its evolution through centuries of intellectual development. The book explores how Chinese thinkers approached moral questions about conflict, presenting perspectives that range from amoral realism to defensive just war theory, humanitarian intervention, and philosophical scepticism about warfare itself. By examining five major intellectual traditions of China's golden age - Confucian, Daoist, Mohist, Legalist, and Military Strategy schools - the work grounds each ethical framework within its proper historical context. Rather than imposing external moral frameworks, the book examines classical texts on their own terms, allowing readers to understand how ancient Chinese philosophers genuinely reasoned about the ethics of warfare and what their arguments reveal about broader moral philosophy.

Key Features

Covers five major Chinese intellectual traditions including Confucian, Daoist, Mohist, Legalist, and Military Strategy schools from the golden age of Chinese civilisation.

Analyses diverse Chinese attitudes toward war, spanning amoral realism, defensive just war theory, humanitarian intervention, and philosophical scepticism.

Grounds each ethical framework within proper historical contexts rather than applying modern moral standards to classical texts.

First comprehensive study of warfare ethics development in early China and its subsequent philosophical evolution.

Published by Routledge in the War, Conflict and Ethics academic series for serious study of military history and ethics.
