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 Significance of War: A Discourse Delivered in the Baptist Meeting House, in Franklin, Indiana, on the Occasion of the National Fast; September 26, 1861 "Think not that I am come to send peace on earth; I came not to send peace, but a sword." - Mat. 10:34. Some minds have found it difficult to reconcile this declaration with what prophets wrote and angels sung. Before the advent of the Messiah, it was written, "His name shall be called the Prince of Peace; and of the increase of his government and peace, there shall be no end." And the angelic song, announcing his advent, was in the same strain: "Glory to God in the highest; and on earth, peace, good will towards men." Yet in giving an account of the effect of his own mission, he says, "Think not that I am come to send peace on earth; I came not to send peace, but a sword." "I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother; and a mans foes shall be they of his own household." The contradiction here is only a seeming, not a real, one. It is the result of his mission to the abodes and the hearts of men, viewed from two different positions. There is, in the experience of every disciple, both this peace and this warfare. "In me," said the Savior, in that last, affecting interview with his chosen ones, before his passion, "In me ye have peace, in the world ye shall have tribulation." And so they soon found it; and themselves testify that they are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; perplexed, but not in despair, persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed. And so the church has found it. Though driven by a relentless persecution into the wilderness, in the mountain fastnesses, she has found a peace in communion with her Head, passing all understanding; and the hills and the rocks have echoed back her hymns of lofty praise. The subject to which your attention is invited, is the one suggested by the text, viz.: That every great change in the thinking and belief of men, or in the intellectual and moral condition of the world, is accompanied with discord, violence and war.

Download or read book Ethics Norms and the Narratives of War written by Pamela Creed and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the ethics and values that render a war discourse normative, and features the stories of American soldiers who fought in the Iraq War to show how this narrative can change. The invasion of Iraq, launched in March 2003, was led by the United States under the now discredited claim that Iraq was developing weapons of mass destruction (WMD). However, critical questions concerning what we may be able to learn from this experience remain largely unexplored. The focus of this book, therefore, is on soldiers as systems of war – and the internal battle many of them wage as they live a reality that slowly emerges as inconsistent with familiar beliefs and value commitments. This work offers a reflective study of identity struggle from the perspective of emotional psychology and delves into the ‘narrative field’ of socio-politics. Going beyond the political contestations over the U.S. military intervention in Iraq, the author analyses original research on the evolving beliefs and value-commitments of veterans of the war, exploring their faith in its ‘just cause’ and their personal sense of self and national identity. This book will be of much interest to students of the Iraq War, US foreign policy, military studies, discourse analysis, and IR in general.

Download or read book Moral Injury and the Promise of Virtue written by Joseph Wiinikka-Lydon and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-11-16 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book turns to virtue language as an important resource for understanding moral injury, a form of subjectivity where one feels they can no longer strive to be good as a result of wartime experience. Drawing specifically on Iris Murdoch’s moral philosophy, and examining the experiences of civilians during the Bosnian War (1992-5), Joseph Wiinikka-Lydon argues that current research into war and current understandings of subjectivity need new ways to articulate the moral dimension of being a subject if we are to understand how violence affects one’s moral being and development. He develops an understanding of the human person as a tensile moral subject, one that forefronts the moral challenges and vulnerability inherent in lives affected by war. With these resources, Wiinikka-Lydon argues for a moral vocabulary and images of the human as a moral being that can better articulate the experience of violence and moral injury.
