The Right To Fight: The Moral Grounds Of War

By Sherwood Eddy

Book Overview

The Right To Fight: The Moral Grounds Of War is a book written by Sherwood Eddy and published in 1918. The book examines the moral and ethical justifications for war and argues that in some cases, war can be necessary and justifiable. Eddy, who was a prominent American missionary and social activist, draws on his experiences working in conflict zones and his knowledge of religious and philosophical traditions to explore the complex issues surrounding war. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which examines a different aspect of the morality of war, including the idea of a just war, the role of patriotism, and the importance of nonviolence. Throughout the book, Eddy emphasizes the need for a nuanced and thoughtful approach to the question of war, and he argues that while war should be avoided whenever possible, there are times when it may be necessary to defend one's country or protect innocent lives. The Right To Fight remains a significant work on the subject of war and its moral implications, and it continues to be studied and debated by scholars and policymakers today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
