This updated and revised second edition of Donald A. Wells's popular War Crimes and Laws of War, originally published in 1984, traces the rules of war since ancient times. The major sources of the rules or "laws" of war are explored: the congresses of the Hague, Geneva, and the United Nations. But an abyss exists between what military manuals allow and what the congresses prohibit; this book attempts to resolve this dilemma. An important text for military college courses and international relations, as well as social philosophy courses. Co-published with the North American Society for Social Philosophy.:

While many books exist on the subject of war, few scholars have offered historical and practical analyses of nonviolent alternatives to the military defense of nations. Professor Freund's historical examples of nonviolence from the last 125 years range from the Hungarian resistance to Austria (1859-1867), to Ghandian nonviolence in India (1918-1933), to the Danish and Norwegian resistance to the Nazis (1940-1945). Elaborates fully the mechanism, tactics, and specific actions of a nonviolent national defense program, attempting to show how it can be a viable, practical alternative to military force.

This book traces the emergence of abstract philosophical thought from the concrete concerns of everyday speech. Studies of Plato and Hegel illustrate the fruits of reflection as well as the perils of alienation that are attached to abstract thought. The book's central concern is the future of philosophy, or what one ought to do to pursue wisdom. Unlike many books which share the same concern, this book returns to the roots of philosophy in search of clues to how to go on. Written in a straightforward style, minimizing the need for technical jargon, this book should be of interest to anyone perplexed about the nature and aims of the philosophical vocation.

In Posterity and Strategic Policy, a moral evaluation of current nuclear policy options, the author argues that policymakers have not paid enough attention to the moral questions that surround debate on the use of nuclear weapons. If we are to succeed in balancing our moral interest and our national interest, we must encourage the evaluation of nuclear issues from a humanitarian perspective. The author surveys three popular policy options and identifies the moral flaws of each. Contents: The Role of the Philosopher-as-Humanist in the Nuclear Debate; The Offensive Orientation of American Nuclear Weapons Policy; Morality, Risk, and Assured Destruction; The Foundations for a Strategic Policy in the Future; and Deterrence without Provocation: Implementing a Plan for Posterity.
