The Preservation of Art and Culture in Times of War
Conflict over cultural heritage has increasingly become a standard part of war. Today, systematic exploitation, manipulation, attacks, and destruction of cultural heritage by state and non-state actors form part of most violent conflicts across the world. Such acts are often intentional and based on well-planned strategies for inflicting harm on groups of people and communities. With this increasing awareness of the role cultural heritage plays i…
Rational Deliberation
Soft war
War used to have a characteristic look and feel: men in uniforms inflicting violence on other men in uniforms within a defined physical space, seeking to push back the opposing military in pursuit of territorial gain. On the sidelines were the civilians—typically women and children—who remained, by right, secure from conflict. This reflects the traditional conception of war as violence within boundaries: physical boundaries that demarcate the bat…
Weighing Lives in War
This volume combines philosophical analysis with normative legal theory. Although both disciplines have spent the past fifty years investigating the nature of the principles of necessity and proportionality, these discussions were all too often walled off from each other. However, the boundaries of these disciplinary conversations have recently broken down, and this volume continues the cross-disciplinary effort by bringing together philosophers …
The Deaths of Combatants
Although there are few restrictions on killing combatants, the contemporary law of war bans weapons that cause superfluous injury and unnecessary suffering. Because military necessity and humanitarian norms often conflict, no clear regulations have emerged. Instead, states sometimes ban weapons because they cause horrific wounds. But this determination is subjective and has led the Red Cross to seek objective medical guidelines on unnecessary suf…
Introduction to the Symposium on Conflicts of Rights
The literature on rights in both moral and legal philosophy is voluminous, so voluminous that there may seem to be little justification for one more symposium to swell its ranks. But the discussion of rights has been fairly tightly organized around several narrow topics of debate, among them whether rights should be explained in terms of interests or choices,The traditional debate is between the “Interest Theory” and the “Will Theory.” For a disc…
Practical Rationality and Preference
What are preferences and are they reasons for action? Is it rational to cooperate with others even if that entails acting against one's preferences? The dominant position in philosophy on the topic of practical rationality is that one acts so as to maximize the satisfaction of one's preferences. This view is most closely associated with the work of David Gauthier, and in this collection of essays some of the most innovative philosophers working i…
