Description

This Routledge Research in Applied Ethics book provides a comprehensive philosophical examination of the moral and legal justifications for the use of force across multiple contexts. The work explores self-defense ethics whilst investigating its connections to lesser evil justifications, public authority, punishment justification, and the ethics of war. Steinhoff's analysis covers fundamental topics including the nature of justification itself, the specific elements of different justifications, the logic of claim and liberty rights, rights forfeiture principles, the value of human life and its limitations, and reciprocal principles. The book addresses how moral force use applies across diverse scenarios, making it essential reading for philosophers, legal scholars, and ethicists seeking rigorous treatment of these complex issues.
