The modern ethics of war is a field of disparate, competing voices based on often unexplored theological assumptions and metaphysical implications. Therese Feiler approaches them from the borderline area between philosophical theology and religious studies, testing whether they offer a meaningful, practical logic of reconciliation. With reference to Hegel's and others' 'theo-logic' that negotiates Christ's mediation and immanent dialectics, the logic of mediation is identified as the core concern of political ethics.
Feiler unites five representative authors from now disparate strands of contemporary just war ethics, testing their conceptual logic of mediation: a sovereign realist and a cosmopolitan idealist; a rationalist individualist defending terrorism, and a Hegelian Christian ethicist. Feile creates a fascinating study that locates a 'dynamic point' at which faithful, free political action can be wrestled from irony, tragedy, and melancholic inertia in the face of totalitarian suffocation.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. The modern ethics of war is a field of disparate, competing voices based on often unexplored theological and metaphysical assumptions. Therese Feiler approaches them from the borderline area between systematics, philosophical theology and religious studies. With reference to G. W. F. Hegel's and like-minded thinkers' 'theologic' that negotiates Christs mediation and immanent dialectics, Feiler identifies the logic and problem of mediation as the core concern of political ethics. Feiler unites five representative authors from now disparate strands of contemporary just war ethics, testing whether they offer a meaningful possibility of mediation and subsequent reconciliation: a sovereign realist and a cosmopolitan idealist; a rationalist individualist, an idealist Christian ethicist, and finally, an evangelical theologian. Opening the just war debate for comparative critical engagement, Feiler creates a fascinating study that locates a dynamic point at which faithful, free political action can be wrestled from irony, tragedy, and melancholic inertia in the face of totalitarian suffocation.
