Beyond Just War

Discover a thought-provoking perspective on the ethics of conflict in Beyond Just War by D. Chan. Published by Palgrave Macmillan in 2012, this compelling paperback edition spans 223 pages and challenges the traditional 'just war' doctrine. D. Chan proposes a transformative virtue ethics framework, arguing that war, much like torture, cannot be morally justified. This book delves into the critical question: 'If war is an immense evil, would a leader embodying courage, justice, compassion, and other moral virtues ever opt for war?' Perfect for scholars and readers interested in ethics, philosophy, and the moral implications of warfare, Beyond Just War offers a fresh lens through which to examine these pressing issues. Engage with D. Chan's insightful analysis and reconsider the moral complexities surrounding the decision to wage war.
