In defence of war
Book • 2013
In this book, Nigel Biggar argues for the moral justification of war using the principles of just war thinking.
He applies these principles to several conflicts, including the First World War, the NATO intervention in Kosovo, and the invasion of Iraq in 2003.
Biggar distinguishes between justice in going to war (ius ad bellum) and justice in the course of fighting a war (ius in bello) and defends the traditional just war criteria.
The book also engages with contemporary philosophical and legal critiques of the just war tradition, advocating for a nuanced and theologically grounded approach to the ethics of war.
