Document Details : Title: Just War and Holy War: Again Author(s): WALZER, Michael Journal: Ethical Perspectives Volume: 24 Issue: 1 Date: 2017 Pages: 7-20 DOI: 10.2143/EP.24.1.3200591 Abstract : This article describes the arguments of Paul Vladimiri, a 15th century Polish philosopher/theologian, about the justice of war (jus ad bellum). It defends his claim that natural reason sets limits on warfare and, specifically, bars holy wars, like the crusades of the Teutonic Knights – and, by extension, the wars of jihadist militants today. It also bars the ideological crusades of secular militants. |
