Justifying the Obligation to Die; Conclusion: The Obligation to Die; Bibliography; Index; About the AuthorJustifying the Obligation to Die provides a critical survey covering classical, medieval, and modern political thinking on how the state or sovereign may justifiably oblige members of the community to risk their lives on its behalf by being sent into war, and it uses Zionism to illustrate how this obligation has been argued in practice. The author then turns to the political thought of Hannah Arendt in order to argue how the obligation could become justifiable.Political obligationWarMoral and ethical aspectsDeathPolitical aspectsZionismCase studiesPolitical obligation.WarMoral and ethical aspects.DeathPolitical aspects.Zionism172.42172/.42Baron Ilan Zvi1978-1121498MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910777729703321Justifying the obligation to die3840298UNINA
