Routledge has
just published a new volume on seminal figures in the history of the just war
tradition.
ABOUT THE BOOK
This volume
offers a set of concise and accessible introductions to the seminal figures in
the historical development of the just war tradition.
In what, if any,
circumstances are political communities justified in going to war? And what
limits should apply to the conduct of any such war? The just war tradition is a
body of thought that helps us think through these very questions. Its core
ideas have been subject to fierce debate for over 2,000 years. Yet they
continue to play a prominent role in how political and military leaders address
the challenges posed by the use of force in international society. Until now
there has been no text that offers concise and accessible introductions to the
key figures associated with the tradition. Stepping into this breach, Just
War Thinkers provides a set of clear but detailed essays by leading
experts on nineteen seminal thinkers, from Cicero to Jeff McMahan. This volume
challenges the reader to think about how traditions are constituted—who is
included and excluded, and how that is determined—and how they serve to enable,
constrain, and indeed channel subsequent thought, debate, and exchange.
This book will
be of much interest to students of just war tradition and theory, ethics and
war, philosophy, security studies and IR.
