Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Right to Fight: The Moral Grounds of War The writer's indebtedness to many authorities and sources is great, especially in Part II. He wishes to acknowledge his gratitude to several friends who have read parts of the manuscript: to Dean Charles R. Brown, of Yale, Professor H. H. Horne, and Dr. William Adams Brown, who have read the manuscript of Part I on the moral problem of war, and who have made helpful suggestions: and to Professor J. A. James, of Northwestern University, and Professor Robert W. Rogers, of Drew Theological Seminary, who have read portions of the manuscript of Part II. The writer does not however hold any one, or any organization, responsible for the opinions expressed in this book. He has been hard pressed and sorely perplexed by the problem of the ethics of war and many an hour of anxious thought has been given to it in the fields of France, within sound of the guns.

Download or read book Morality and War written by David Fisher and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2011-03-03 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the ending of the strategic certainties of the Cold War, the need for moral clarity over when, where and how to start, conduct and conclude war has never been greater. There has been a recent revival of interest in the just war tradition. But can a medieval theory help us answer twenty-first century security concerns? David Fisher explores how just war thinking can and should be developed to provide such guidance. His in-depth study 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. The complexity and difficulty of moral decision-making requires a new ethical approach - here characterised as virtuous consequentialism - that recognises the importance of both the internal quality and external effects of agency; and of the moral principles and virtues needed to enact them. Having reinforced the key tenets of just war thinking, Fisher uses these to address contemporary security issues, including the changing nature of war, military pre-emption and torture, the morality of the Iraq war, and humanitarian intervention. He concludes that the just war tradition provides not only a robust but an indispensable guide to resolve the security challenges of the twenty-first century.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Moral Damage of War The argument that follows is not spun from the writer's fancy, but deduced from facts of which he has had intimate experience. The instances and illustrations were not coined in the mint of his imagination, but in nearly every case arc either direct quotation or accurate summary of precise sayings and doings referable, on challenge, to their sources. So much was affirmed when the following pages were first given to the British public. But so hideous was the revelation they contained of the damage wrought by war upon the moral nature of all classes of society, that a few persons professed to receive it with incredulity, and dismissed the conclusions with evasive exclamations about rhetoric and exaggeration. Such persons were those who either had not passed through the same fire as the writer, or had not, like him, observed and noted, gathered and pondered, through sorrowful years, or whose previous habit of mind left them unprepared for the message of peace.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Moral Issue Back of Germany's conduct of the war, however, lies the responsibility for the war, With all the sufferings it has entailed on the entire world. That, too, is to be traced to the same unholy alliance, and one of my aims in developing the theme is to show how in the history of mankind a moral issue al ways ensues, When power or the threat of power is used to force a national policy.

Download or read book The Moral Meanings of the World War written by William E. Barton and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-14 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Moral Meanings of the World War: A Sermon The favor with which this sermon was received is sufficiently indicated by the fact that at its close the congregation, quite unaccustomed to such demonstrations, burst into prolonged applause. On every side were requests for the printing of the sermon; and the Men's Bible Class immediately waited upon Dr. Barton and requested a copy of the manuscript. Our pastor preached a sermon at the time of the declaration of war which also deeply impressed the congregation. It was entitled "Our Fight for the Heritage of Humanity," and was delivered on Sunday morning, April 15, 1917. Coming as it did immediately after the declaration of war, and before people generally had formulated their convictions in utterances of this character, it proved of interest and value not only to the members of this congregation, but to others far outside. It was quoted in many addresses, and favorably commented upon by men in high positions, as well as by newspapers in this country and in Great Britain. The Men's Bible Class was compelled to put it on the press several times in order to meet the requests that were received for it. We are sending this sermon forth not only as the honest and forceful utterance of our minister, but also as a fair statement of the views of this congregation. If it is significant, as we believe it is, the significance lies not alone in the fact that our minister said it, but also in the fact that this congregation is in accord with him. We believe that many people will be glad to read this sermon, and will find in it an effective presentation of the view which Christian America holds concerning the great world war.

Download or read book The War Its History and Its Morals written by A. F. Pollard and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-11-16 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The War, Its History and Its Morals: A Lecture IT has often been remarked, from the time of Aristotle downwards, that, while the occasions of great events may be trivial, the causes are always profound. This distinction between occasions and causes must ever be borne in mind when we attempt to trace the origin of the Great War of 1914. Occasions for war we have always with us they are as plentiful as the microbes infesting the air we breathe; and, just as our individual health depends, not upon the pos sibility of avoiding microbes, but upon the general state of our body, so the preservation of the world's peace depends, not upon the absence of occasions for war, but upon the con dition of mind in which the peoples and governments of the earth confront them. We are not at war because an archduke was murdered, but because that occasion for war burst upon one or two powers not disinclined to break the peace. If we can account for the bellicose attitude of Germany and Austria in July, 1914, we can understand the outbreak of war; for, if it is true that it takes two to make a quarrel, it is truer that it takes two to keep the peace.

Download or read book The Great War and Its Lessons Classic Reprint written by Nicholas Murray Butler and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-05-11 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Great War and Its Lessons We are a neutral nation, and the President has rightly enjoined us all to observe neutrality in speech and in deed. But neutrality is not indifference: it is not the neutrality of the casual passer-by who views with amused carelessness a fight between two street rowdies; it is the neutrality of the just judge who aims, without passion and without prejudice, to render judgment on the proved facts. We cannot if we would refrain from passing judgment upon the conduct of men whether singly or in nations, and we should not attempt to do so.' In the first place, the moral judgment of the American people as to this war and as to the several steps in the declaration and conduct of it, is clear, calm, and practically unanimous. There is no beat ing of drums and blowing of bugles, but rather a sad pain and grief that our kin across the sea, owing whatever allegiance and speaking whatever tongue, are engaged in public murder and destruction on the most stupendous scale recorded in history. This of itself proves that the education of public opinion has proceeded far, and, whatever the war-traders and militarists may say, that the heart of the American people is sound and its head well-informed. The attitude of the American press is worthy of the highest praise; in some notable instances the very high-water mark of dignity and of power has been reached. When the war-clouds have lifted, I believe that the moral judgment of the American people as to this war will prove to be that of the sober - minded and fair-minded men in every country of Europe.
