Contemporary ethics of war focuses invariably on the divide between Walzarian Just War Theory and its revisionist alternative. This superb collection boldly breaks through the overdone "traditionalist v. revisionists" theme, offering a fresh look at the morality and legality of warfare from a Kantian perspective. Celebrating Arthur Ripstein's Kant and the Law of War, authors engage prominent scholars of law, moral philosophy and politics to debate the intricate
relationship between states' internal and external use of force. This first-rate volume of original essays is highly recommended-reading for anyone concerned with these issues in war and peace.
