Synopsis
Excerpt from The State of the Question, Morality and Modern Warfare
That the publication of this symposium1 on morality and warfare has the character of a pioneer effort fifteen years after Hiroshima indicates something of the failure of the Christian community to come to terms with that event. The moral confusion that this failure evidences may be but a part of the general state of shock the public has invoked as a psychological defense against the horrors of modern warfare. Many desire neither to hear about these realities nor to think about them.

Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a symposium of essays written by leading Catholic scholars on the topic of morality and warfare in the 20th century, particularly in the context of nuclear weapons and strategies. Coming at a time when the threat of global nuclear war loomed large, the author grapples with the question of how to deter aggression without resorting to mutually assured destruction. By examining the political context of the Cold War and the challenges posed by the advent of nuclear weapons, this book offers a nuanced and thought-provoking exploration of the moral dilemmas facing policymakers in the nuclear age. It delves into the concept of limited war, considering its feasibility and moral implications. The essays also engage with the broader question of how to reconcile the demands of justice and charity in an era of unprecedented destructive potential. Ultimately, this book contributes to the ongoing debate on the ethics of warfare and the search for a just and sustainable peace.
