Helen Frowe

Defensive Killing

An Essay on War and Self-Defence

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Helen Frowe offers a new account of when and why it is morally permissible for a person to use force to defend herself or others against harm. She explores the use of force between individuals before extending the enquiry to war, to argue that we should judge the ethics of killing in war by the moral rules that govern killing between individuals.
