Description
The article discusses Kantian-inspired approaches to ethics and how they are relevant to military ethics. It also discusses how military ethics is often neglected, and this collection of essays aims to address that gap.
Kantian-inspired approaches to ethics are a hugely important part of the philosophical landscape in the 21st century. Still, the lion's share of the work done in service of these approaches has been at the theoretical level. Moreover, when we survey writing in which Kantian-inspired thinkers address practical ethical problems, we do not often enough find sustained attention being paid to issues in military ethics. This collection fills that gap and presents a sampling of how an ethicist who takes Kantian commitments seriously might address controversial questions in the profession of arms.
