Al-Shaybani and the Islamic Law of War.John Kelsay - 2003 - Journal of Military Ethics 2 (1):63-75.details One of the ways Islamic tradition addresses questions of military ethics is through inquiries into the shari'a, indicating the ideal way of life and usually rendered as Islamic 'law'. Discussion of the shari?a includes an extended conversation concerning the justification and conduct of war. The work of al-Shaybani (d. 804) and other early scholars in the Hanafi school illustrates an important moment in this conversation, establishing precedents to which subsequent generations of Muslims (including contemporary Muslims) must respond. Further, the accomplishments (...) Download Export citation Bookmark 3 citations
Basic moral values: A shared core.Frances V. Harbour - 1995 - Ethics and International Affairs 9:155-170.details Without some form of objectivity, Harbour argues, there is no firm grounding other than taste for criticizing whatever constitutes another culture's values, or even for reforming one's own—and there is no firm grounding for moral objections to someone such as Hitler or Idi Amin.

Barre - 2012 - Journal of Religious Ethics 40 (1):138-148.details This essay begins by exploring the extent to which the narrative of secularization presented in Charles Taylor's A Secular Age might be complicated or otherwise challenged by taking account of parallel processes within Islamic thought and practice.

Tradition, Authority, and Immanent Critique in Comparative Ethics.Rosemary B. Kellison - 2014 - Journal of Religious Ethics 42 (4):713-741.details Drawing on resources from pragmatist thought allows religious ethicists to take account of the central role traditions play in the formation and development of moral concepts without thereby espousing moral relativism or becoming traditionalists. After giving an account of this understanding of the concept of tradition, I examine the ways in which understandings of tradition play out in two contemporary examples of tradition-based ethics: works in comparative ethics of war by James Turner Johnson and John Kelsay. I argue that a (...) Download Export citation Bookmark 5 citations
Shari’a Reasoning and the Justice of Religious War.Christopher J. Eberle - 2012 - Philosophia 40 (2):195-211.details Most contemporary advocates of the Just War Tradition (JWT) condemn religious war. If they are correct, waging war should be a secular affair, fully justifiable on non-religious grounds. This secularized understanding of the JWT draws on normative commitments that lead many political theorists to advocate in favor of a secularized politics in western liberal polities. As a matter of historical fact and contemporary commitment, many Muslims have rejected the secularized conception of the morality of war found in contemporary conceptions of (...)
