Short description:
This books explains the just war approach to the use of force from a largely Christian-theological perspective. It engages contemporary approaches by offering a coherent conception of the just war ethic.
MoreLong description:
The just war ethic emerges from an affirmative response to the basic question of whether people may sometimes permissibly intend to kill other people.
In Politics, Justice, and War, Joseph E. Capizzi clarifies the meaning and coherence of the 'just war' approach, to the use of force in the context of Christian ethics. By reconnecting the just war ethic to an Augustinian political approach, Capizzi illustrates that the just war ethic requires emphasis on the 'right intention', or goal, of peace as ordered justice. With peace set as the goal of war, the various criteria of the just war ethic gain their intelligibility and help provide practical guidance to all levels of society regarding when to go to war and how to strive to contain it.
So conceived, the ethic places stringent limits on noncombatant or 'innocent' killing in war, helps make sense of contemporary technological and strategic challenges, and opens up space for a critical and constructive dialogue with international law.
Joseph E. Capizzi's Politics, Justice, and War: Christian Governance and the Ethics of Warfare brings a fresh Augustinian Christian perspective to debates over how to do justice before, during, and after war. The work does what good scholarship should do: it looks at old debates with new eyes, drawing from a long tradition of thought about war while addressing issues and ideas of the moment and engaging thinkers whose work has been particularly salient in shaping contemporary discussions.
