Abstract

Animals have been almost entirely absent from scholarly appraisals of the ethics of war. Just-war theory concerns when communities may permissibly resort to war; who may wage war; who they may harm in war; and what kinds of harm they may cause. Each question can be complicated by animals’ inclusion. After introducing just-war theory and the argument for an animal-inclusive just-war theory, this paper reviews ethical appraisals of war on animals’ behalf and wars against animals. It then turns to consider harm to and use of animals in war. It concludes by considering questions in the ethics of war beyond just-war theory as traditionally construed.

动物与战争伦理:呼吁包容的正义战争理论

在对战争伦理的学术评价中，动物几乎完全被忽略了。正义战争理论关注的是社会在什么情况下可以允许诉诸战争;谁可以发动战争;他们可以在战争中伤害谁;以及它们可能造成的伤害。每个问题都会因为动物的加入而变得复杂。在介绍了正义战争理论和对动物包容的正义战争理论的论证之后，本文回顾了为动物而战和针对动物而战的伦理评价。然后它转而考虑在战争中对动物的伤害和使用。最后，它考虑了传统意义上的正义战争理论之外的战争伦理问题。

期刊介绍： International Relations is explicitly pluralist in outlook. Editorial policy favours variety in both subject-matter and method, at a time when so many academic journals are increasingly specialised in scope, and sectarian in approach. We welcome articles or proposals from all perspectives and on all subjects pertaining to international relations: law, economics, ethics, strategy, philosophy, culture, environment, and so on, in addition to more mainstream conceptual work and policy analysis. We believe that such pluralism is in great demand by the academic and policy communities and the interested public.
