The Ethics of Self-Defense

The fifteen new essays collected in this volume address questions concerning the ethics of self-defense, most centrally when and to what extent the use of defensive force, especially lethal force, can be justified. Scholarly interest in this topic reflects public concern stemming from controversial cases of the use of force by police, and military force exercised in the name of defending against transnational terrorism. The contributors pay special attention to determining when a threat is liable to defensive harm, though doubts about this emphasis are also raised. The legitimacy of so-called "stand your ground" policies and laws is also addressed. This volume will be of great interest to readers in moral, political, and legal philosophy.

Who has the bigger challenge—a teenager growing up with old-fashioned parents or parents trying to raise a modern teenager? Before their other exploits, Dave and Katie Parker had the challenge of raising a son—a son with an adventurous spirit. At an early age, Jeremy perceives the ordinariness of his parents’ lives and resolves that he can do better.Disappointment, bullies, alluring girls, peer pressure, and surging hormones combine to challenge Jeremy. His questions—Who do I want to be? What will I do with my life?—remain unanswered. Amid rich deep-south and Cajun-influenced culture, Jeremy explores routes to a future different from the heritage he received. Jeremy’s dilemma becomes more complicated as Dave and Katie experience personal problems of their own. Into the uncertainty of Jeremy’s world comes an irresponsible and beguiling older woman. Tara is a vagabond and a practiced con artist. To Jeremy, the street-smart and philosophical woman holds the secret to life. She offers him a path with her to a young man’s dreams: adventure, passion, freedom. All Tara asks is that Jeremy bring his college fund with him.
