Description

Explore the foundations of warfare ethics in early China with this comprehensive analysis from Routledge. This book provides a deep look into how Chinese attitudes toward war evolved, moving through complex perspectives such as amoral realism, defensive just war, humanitarian intervention, and mournful skepticism. Readers will examine the five major intellectual traditions from the golden age of Chinese civilization. The text covers the Confucian, Daoist, Mohist, Legalist, and Military Strategy schools in detail. By immersing readers in the proper historical contexts, the book examines the moral concerns found in classical texts on their own terms. This work is essential for students and scholars of military history and ethics. It offers a way to reframe classical moral concerns through a historical lens, providing a clear understanding of how conflict and morality were viewed in ancient Chinese thought.
