What are the moral obligations of participants and bystanders during-and in the wake of -a conflict? How have theoretical understandings of justice, peace and responsibility changed in the face of contemporary realities of war? Drawing on the work of leading scholars in the fields of philosophy, political theory, international law, religious studies and peace studies, the collection significantly advances current literature on war, justice and post-conflict reconciliation. Contributors address some of the most pressing issues of international and civil conflict, including the tension between attributing individual and collective responsibility for the wrongs of war, the trade-offs made between the search for truth and demands for justice, and the conceptual intricacies of coming to understand just what is meant by 'peace' and 'conflict.' Individual essays also address concrete topics including the international criminal court, reparations, truces, political apologies, truth commissions and criminal trials, with an eye to contemporary examples from conflicts in the Middle East, Africa and North and South America.​

IN CROATIAN: Inspirirana Kangrginom definicijom zavičaja kao mjesta gdje se osjećamo dobro autorica razmatra druge konotacije pojma dom kao mjesta brige nasilja, izgona, utopije i mita. Također razmatra mogućnosti bivanja subjektom demokracije za različite deprivilegirane grupe: zlostavljane žene, prognane, izbjegle i druge. --- IN ENGLISH: Inspired by Milan Kangrga's definition of 'home' as the place where we feel at ease (particularly elaborated in an essay by Hrvoje Jurić), I will study other, potential connotations of the term 'home' – as a place of care, hope, utopia and myth. I will also consider 'home' as a potential place for democracy subjects (abused women, displaced people, refugees, and others) for whom Kangrga's view of 'home' is questionable. The study of 'home' from the standpoint of particularity (starting from one's own home, region, people, nation, country, to the universe) versus democracy (studied from the same standpoint since it is a phenomenon subject to historical changes) shows that the mentioned phenomena manifest as privileges of only a few socially determined subjects. Therefore, some consider 'home' as a privilege, while the others see it as an empty or fictional place. The status of democracy subjects is treated in a similar way. Among other things the study points out that the relationship between the general and the particular is questionable, especially when it comes to issues dealt with in political philosophy. For example, what happens when the particular becomes dominant, or when it is denied by what is general, i.e. historically or politically dominant (for example, male or European by nature).

Kant's characterisation of honeste vive as an unenforceable duty of right owed to oneself poses two systematic problems: it conflicts with Kant's claims that (a) duties of right concern the external relation between distinct individuals and (b) duties of right are externally enforceable. Both of these claims speak against the possibility of a duty of right to oneself. This article addresses this interpretative problem. Regarding (a) I suggest that while honeste vive is a duty owed to oneself, the content of the duty concerns one's interaction with others. Regarding (b) I maintain that honeste vive is a general duty of right, and such duties are not externally enforceable. This view both allows for an understanding of the structure of obligation in the Doctrine of Right as a whole and forces us to reconsider two central aspects of Kant's concept of right—namely, that all rights are externally enforceable and owed to others. Not only does honeste vive belong to the Doctrine of Right but understanding the way in which it does can illuminate the significance and scope of duties belonging to Kant's political philosophy.

This book proposes that the highest expression of ethics is an aesthetic. It suggests that the quintessential performance of any field of practice is an art that captures an ethic beyond any literal statement of values. This is toadvocate for a shift in emphasis,away from current juridical approaches to ethics (ethicalcodes or regulation), toward ethics as an aesthetic practice-away from ethics as a minimal requirement, toward ethics as an aspiration. The book explores the relationship between art and ethics: a subject that has fascinated philosophers from ancient Greece to the present. It explores this relationship in all the arts: literature, the visual arts, film, the performing arts, and music. It also examines current issues raised by 'hybrid' artists who are working at the ambiguous intersections between art, bioart and bioethics and challenging ethical limits in working with living materials. In considering these issues the book investigates the potential for art and ethics to be mutually challenged and changed in this meeting. The book is aimed at artists and students of the arts, who may be interested in approaching ethics and the arts in a new way. It is also aimed at students and teachers of ethics and philosophy, as well as those working in bioethics and the health professions. It will have appeal to the 'general educated reader' as being current, of considerable interest, and offering a perspective on ethics that goes beyond a professional context to include questions about how one approaches ethics in one's own life and practices

Kant's view of the relation between ethical and politico-juridical norms has been debated in the literature, especially his view in the Rechtslehre. Apart from the exegetical question about the accurate interpretation of Kant's practical philosophy, at stake is also the general issue of the kind of politico-juridical normgiving we think we should have in our society. I have claimed that the fundamental positions in the literature on Kant can be reconciled, and, on the basis of Kant's claims in the Introduction to the Metaphysics of Morals, I have argued that ethical principles formulate in a complex way certain requirements that politico-juridical principles will have to meet in order to be appropriate principles for a society. I have also shown that the direct independentist position, according to which politico-juridical principles cannot be derived from the ethical ones, holds only when we regard principles from the perspective of subjective validity. In this paper, I examine the relation between ethical and politico-juridical principles on the basis of Kant's claims in the Tugendlehre. My claim is that the interpretation of his view needs to be adjusted in order to accommodate his claims in the Doctrine of Virtue. We will end up with an even more complex relation; on this revised interpretation, Kant would still regard politico-juridical principles as dependent in a complex way on ethical principles, but only on a specific subset of ethical principles. This will mean that the other ethical principles will not ground politicojuridical principles; the latter will be independent from the former, and this will be additional support for the independentist position.

"Phenomenology has primarily been concerned with conceptual questions about knowledge and ontology. However, in recent years the rise of interest and research in applied phenomenology has seen the study of political phenomenology move to a central place in the study of phenomenology generally. The Routledge Handbook of Political Phenomenology is the first major collection on this important topic. Comprising 35 chapters by an international team of expert contributors, the Handbook is organised into six clear parts, each with its own Introduction by the editors: Founders of Phenomenology Existentialist Phenomenology Phenomenology of the Social and Political World Phenomenology of Alterity Phenomenology in Debate Contemporary Developments. Full attention is given to central figures in the phenomenological movement, including Husserl, Heidegger, Sartre, Merleau-Ponty and Levinas as well as those whose contribution to political phenomenology is more distinctive, such as Arendt, De Beauvoir and Fanon. Also included are chapters on gender, race and intersectionality, disability, and technology. Ideal for those studying phenomenology, continental philosophy and political theory, The Routledge Handbook of Political Phenomenology bridges an important gap between a major philosophical movement and contemporary political issues and concepts"--

"Simone Weil is one of the most profound thinkers of the twentieth century. Her writings encompass an extraordinary breadth of subjects, including philosophy, religion, sociology, and politics. A political activist and resistance fighter, her accomplishments are even more astonishing in light of her death in 1943 at the age of thirty-four. Whilst Weil was concerned with deep philosophical questions - the nature of human thought and human faculties, the limits of language, and thought's contact with reality through mediation, science and beauty - the full significance of her work has frequently been obscured by her categorization as a purely religious writer or Christian mystic. Simone Weil: Basic Writings is an expertly edited anthology of her most important writings, presenting Weil's philosophy as it relates to politics, the nature of work, human nature in its duality, necessity, beauty and goodness. D. K. Levy and Marina Barabas have translated all the extracts anew, including translations of important notes and references missing from existing English language editions of Weil's work. Following an extensive introduction by D. K. Levy which places Weil's life and thought in context, each section opens with a short introduction situating the chosen passages within Weil's oeuvre. Simone Weil: Basic Writings is an outstanding starting point for anyone seeking an introduction to Weil's philosophy, and also essential reading for students and scholars of Weil's thought in related disciplines"--

"Philosophical inquiry into the theory and practice of responsibility is a major and fast-growing area of study. It spans perennial philosophical, political, and legal questions about free will and agency as well as more recent, controversial topics such as coercion, ignorance, and responsibility for historical injustices. The Routledge Handbook of Philosophy of Responsibility is an outstanding survey and exploration of these issues and more. Comprised of forty-one chapters by an international team of contributors, the Handbook is divided into three clear parts - on the history, theory, and practice of responsibility - within which the following key areas are examined: responsibility and wrongdoing responsibility and determinism the scope of responsibility individuals and society the concepts of responsibility the conditions and challenges of responsibility being and holding responsible the ethics and politics of responsibility responsibility in the law. Including suggestions for further reading at the end of each chapter, The Routledge Handbook of Philosophy of Responsibility provides an extremely useful guide to the topic. It will be valuable reading for students and researchers in philosophy and applied ethics, as well as for those in related disciplines such as politics, law, and policymaking"--
