The question of the just war weaves a complex historical and systematic net between Orient and Occident as well as between antiquity and the present. Christianity and Islam, poetry and philosophy are faced with the common challenge of situating justice in a phenomenon that by its very nature bears the stigma of cruelty, given diverging dogmatic or methodological premises.The perspectives of this volume range from the Greek tragedy via Plato, Aristotle and the philosophy in Rome (Cicero), the late antiquity (Augustine) and modern Christian discussion to the Islamic debate from the Middle Ages into the present. In addition, humanitarian interventions and the question of a just peace are being discussed.
