Kant and the Law of War
Oxford University Press Inc (Verlag)
978-0-19-760420-5 (ISBN)
The book is a major intervention into just war theory from the most influential contemporary interpreter and exponent of Kant's political and legal theories. Beginning from the difference between governing human affairs through words and through force, Ripstein articulates a Kantian account of the state as a public legal order in which all uses of force are brought under law. Against this background, he provides innovative accounts of the right of national defence, the importance of conducting war in ways that preserve the possibility of a future peace, and the distinctive role of international institutions in bringing force under law.
Arthur Ripstein is Professor of Law and Philosophy and University Professor at the University of Toronto, where he holds the Howard Beck QC Chair in law. He was educated at the Universities of Manitoba (BA) and Pittsburgh (PhD) and Yale Law School. He was awarded the 2021 Killam Prize for the Humanities by the Canada Council for the Arts.
