Description

Explore the complex moral landscape of armed conflict with Utilitarianism and the Ethics of War by Routledge. This academic text provides a detailed utilitarian analysis of the core ethical dilemmas found in warfare. It focuses on the two fundamental questions that define the morality of combat: determining when waging war might be morally justified and establishing the rules for how wars should be fought if recourse to arms is deemed necessary. Beyond the basic questions of justification, this book examines how realism and relativism impact ethical discussions regarding war. Readers will also gain insight into the specific duties of military personnel and the moral challenges they encounter during service. From pacifism to the complexities of modern combat, this work offers a comprehensive look at the ethical frameworks used to evaluate human conflict. It is an essential resource for students and scholars interested in military history and ethics.
