Forschungsthema am Forschungskolleg Humanwissenschaften:

»A Contractarian Defense of Just War Theory«

Projektbeschreibung:

The goal of the proposed project is to develop a new justification for just war theory, one grounded in the social contract tradition. The basic idea is that the rules that guide wars are anchored in a mutually beneficial agreement between states. The general form of the argument runs as follows: States have a strong interest in being able to defend themselves from unjust attacks against them but since they cannot be sure that they will always be the stronger party in such conflicts, they have an interest in limited, rule-governed wars over unlimited, total ones; and since deciding on such rules would be impossible once war breaks out, they have an interest in agreeing to such rules ex ante. I seek to show that the contractarian defense of just war theory does a better job than other defenses in explaining the moral equality of soldiers, the moral distinction between combatants and noncombatants and in elucidating other components of traditional just war theory and international law.
