Morality and War

the long version

David Fisher explores how just war thinking can and should be developed to provide such guidance. Morality and War examines philosophical challenges to just war thinking, including those posed by moral scepticism and relativism. It explores the nature and grounds of moral reasoning, the relation between public and private morality, and how just war teaching needs to be refashioned to provide practical guidance not just to politicians and generals but to ordinary service people.
