On Getting One's Retaliation in First
In Henry Shue & David Rodin (eds.), Preemption: Military Action and Moral Justification. Oxford University Press (2007)
Abstract
This chapter provides a general, philosophical account of the use of harmful force in self-defence as a type of retaliation. It argues that pre-emption — the use of harmful force for prevention — is not an act of self-defence. The associations between the concepts of retaliation, self-defence, and pre-emption are discussed.Author's Profile
