Do individuals have a positive right of self-defence? And if so, what are the limits of this right? Under what conditions, if any, does this use of force extend to the defence of others? These are some of the issues explored by Dr Uniacke in this comprehensive philosophical discussion of the principles relevant to self-defence as a moral and legal justification of homicide. She establishes a unitary right of self-defence and defence of others, one which grounds the permissibility of the use of necessary and proportionate defensive force against culpable and non-culpable, active and passive, unjust threats. Particular topics discussed include: the nature of moral and legal justification and excuse; natural law justifications of homicide in self-defence; the Principle of Double Effect and the claim that homicide in self-defence is justified as unintended killing; and the question of self-preferential killing. This is a lucid and sophisticated account of the complex notion of justification, revolving around a critical discussion of recent trends in the law of self-defence.

The right of self-defense is seemingly at odds with the general presupposition that killing is wrong; numerous theories have been put forth over the years that attempt to explain how self-defense is consistent with such a presupposition. In Justified Killing: The Paradox of Self-Defense, Whitley Kaufman argues that none of the leading theories adequately explains why it is permissible even to kill an innocent attacker in self-defense, given the basic moral prohibition against killing the innocent. Kaufman suggests that such an explanation can be found in the traditional Doctrine of Double Effect, according to which self-defense is justified because the intention of the defender is to protect himself rather than harm the attacker. Given this morally legitimate intention, self-defense is permissible against both culpable and innocent aggressors, so long as the force used is both necessary and proportionate. Justified Killing will intrigue in particular those scholars interested in moral and legal philosophy.

What would you kill for? Is killing ever justified? Would you kill to protect someone you love? Is killing for your country an act of patriotism or murder? Is the death penalty justified or simply vengeance? Is one human life ever worth more than another? In 'Good Reasons to Kill', former soldier Chris Rhyss Edwards shares stories of people from all walks of life who have chosen or been forced by circumstance to kill. Over a five year timespan he investigated controversial subjects spanning domestic homicide, war, euthanasia, abortion, child soldiers, infanticide, state execution, terrorism and honor killings to try and understand why we kill. 'Good Reasons to Kill', the first book of its kind, shares the stories of people who have confronted the biggest moral dilemma possible. At the core of each story are two questions; what would you do in the same situation, and do we ever have a good reason to kill?

Essay from the year 2008 in the subject Politics - Political Theory and the History of Ideas Journal, grade: 1,7, University of Birmingham (Department of Political Science and International Studies), course: The Theory and Ethics of Terrorism and Political Violence, language: English, abstract: “Thou shalt not kill” (Exodus 20: 13). The fifth commandment puts the highest maxim of pacifism into words. In pacifism this maxim is even higher in value than one’s own life. The core question is whether there can ever be a justification of the use of violence to prevent or reduce existing violence. The realities of our world ceaselessly confront mankind with the cruelty of violence – examples of reckless and random killing without ruth in Nazism, Stalinism, or southern Sudan, Liberia, Congo, Middle East and many more do not need further explanation. In facing the reality of violence and acknowledging the ethical dilemma of situations of inevitable loss of life this essay presents a deontological approach to the justification of killing for liberty whereby the act of liberation has to be aimed at a constitution of political freedom and its chosen means must not violate humanity. This conditional limitation of killing for the sack of liberty is approached within three parts. Part I deals with the deontological quality of liberty justifying violent acts of self-defence; part II deals with this liberalising use of violence by examining its limits in the fight against oppression and part III defines valid targets of killing for liberty.
