The volume contains a structured dialogue between representatives of the following ethical traditions: Buddhism, Christianity, Confucianism, feminism, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism, liberalism, natural law, pacifism, and realism. There are two introductory chapters on the technical aspects of WMD and international agreements for controlling WMD. A concluding essay compares the different ethical traditions. All the authors address the same set of moral issues and this creates a dialogue both within and across traditions. The debate structure is particularly useful and appealing for pedagogical purposes. The introductory essays on the technical and legal aspects of WMD could easily be used to introduce the subject to students. 410 0$aEthikon series in comparative ethics. 517 3 $aEthics & Weapons of Mass Destruction 606 $aNuclear warfare$xMoral and ethical aspects 606 $aWeapons of mass destruction$xMoral and ethical aspects 615 0$aNuclear warfare$xMoral and ethical aspects. 615 0$aWeapons of mass destruction$xMoral and ethical aspects. 676 $a172/.42 702 $aHashmi$b Sohail H.$f1962- 702 $aLee$b Steven$g(Steven P.), 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910457714203321 996 $aEthics and weapons of mass destruction$92452166 997 $aUNINA
