War and Delusion transcends rigid disciplinary boundaries and is written so as to be accessible to both academic and nonacademic readers interested in the never more timely and relevant topic of warWhile written by a philosopher, War and Delusion has appeal for a much broader audience, including political scientists, human security practitioners, leftist critics, philosophers, peace activists, libertarians, theologians and religious scholars, feminists, and journalistsWhat distinguishes War and Delusion above all from other works critical of the war system is its attention to the first-person perspectives of soldiers, victims, and leaders, which has been heretofore largely neglected in normative writing on warWritten by an outsider to academic political science, War and Delusion illuminates the blind spots in this scholarly community’s literature

Beschreibung

Calhoun examines the centuries-old paradigm of just war theory to determine whether modern 'just war' rationalizations constitute sound justifications or pro-military propaganda. Her work reveals how the practice of modern war contradicts the most basic values and principles of modern Western democracies.
