From Just War To Modern Peace Ethics Author: Heinz-Gerhard Justenhoven ISBN: 9783110291926 Genre: Religion File Size: 46.98 MB Format: PDF, ePub, Docs Download: 642 Read: 315 This book rewrites the history of Christian peace ethics.Christian reflection on reducing violence or overcoming war has roots extending back to ancient Roman philosophy, and it eventually decisively influenced the formation of modern international law.This study traces the development of the tradition from Cicero, Augustine and Thomas Aquinas to early modern thinkers including Vitoria, Suarez, Martin Luther, Hugo Grotius and Immanuel Kant.
These sources influenced modern peace ethics cosmopolitanism and international law-based approach, as can be found in the late Pope John Paul IIs peace teaching. ![]() Cicero puts his talents at the service of the powerful triumviri (Caesar, Crassus and Pompey), whose aims he advances by appealing to the senators imperialistic and chauvinistic ideology. This oration, then, yields precious insights into several areas of late republican life: international relations between Rome and the provinces (Gaul, Macedonia and Judaea); the senators view on governors, publicani (tax-farmers) and foreigners; the dirty mechanics of high politics in the 50s, driven by lust for domination and money; and Ciceros own role in that political choreography. This new commentary includes an updated introduction, which provides the readers with a historical, rhetorical and stylistic background to appreciate the complexities of Ciceros oration, as well as indexes and maps. These orations against Mark Antony are an important testimony to the critical final phase of the Roman Republic.
