The Bounds of Defense: Killing, Moral Responsibility, and War
ISBN: 9780190692513 / Angielski / Twarda / 2023 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Most people believe that killing someone, while generally morally wrong, can in some cases be a permissible act. Most people similarly believe that war, while awful, can be justified. Bradley Jay Strawser examines a set of related moral issues in war: when it is permissible to kill in defense of others; what moral responsibility would be required to be liable for such defensive killing; how that permission can extend to whole groups of people; and, lastly, what values undergird the permissibility of that defense, such as individual autonomy.

Killing by Remote Control: The Ethics of an Unmanned Military
ISBN: 9780199926121 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych.

War remains a grim fixture of the human landscape, and because of its tremendous and ongoing impact on the lives of millions of people, has always attracted the attention of careful, rigorous, and empathetic moral philosophers.

This volume collects in one place the most influential and groundbreaking...
