Ethik des Krieges

‘War is hell’—and that is precisely why an ethical examination of it is so important. This textbook discusses the ethical questions that arise in connection with war: What are the conditions under which waging a war should be allowed? What is one allowed to do in war and what not? And when and how must a war be ended? An examination of these questions not only deepens our understanding of this highly relevant field of ethics, but at the same time offers numerous general insights into the discipline as a whole. The book knowledgeably presents the most important academic debates on the ethics of war, especially for students and researchers, but also for all others seeking insights into this subject.
