Abstract:
War has always been a complex phenomenon that is simultaneously the subject of philosophical, moral, legal and technological re-examination. With the emergence of artificial intelligence and autonomous systems, war as a phenomenon is experiencing a fundamental transformation, not only in operational and tactical terms, but also in conceptual and normative terms. New technologies are changing the way wars are fought, but also the way wars are understood. Instead of war as human decisions and conflicts, contemporary studies of war imply a war in which algorithms, machines and autonomous systems

Abstract:
In this paper, we discuss the interrelationship of nuclear weapons, cyber warfare, and cyber security. Some of the most significant cyber threats to nuclear stability are now due to the intersection of technologies related to nuclear weapons and cyber technology. Cyber warfare can now be used to engage in and influence international events through cyber attacks upon nuclear systems and weapons. In the current war between Russia and Ukraine there has been the threat of the use of nuclear weapons. Since cyber warfare has already been employed in the Russia/Ukraine conflict it is possible that cy

Abstract:
Using weapons against civil aircraft is interconnected with several areas: international legal responsibility, prohibition of force, right to self-defense, ethical dilemmas, and the protection of human rights. The arguments presented in this study emphasize that while self-defense provides a theoretical possibility for using weapons against aircraft, there are still ethical challenges and unavoidable rules of international law. Therefore, using weapons against civil aircraft poses several challenges that must be considered in both legal and moral aspects. This paper presents the international

Abstract:
Moving focus from the geostrategic and political realms to ethical and moral ones can lead to a better understanding of the paradox of “guaranteeing peace” by means of implementing an . infrastructure for the extinction of mankind (i.e. the nuclear weapons industry). A possible way forward is derived from this major paradigm shift. The analysis is contextualized within the broader scope of questioning the implicit legitimization of unrestrained tampering with nature, from matter to life.

Abstract:
Recent research into the public’s attitude toward the use of nuclear weapons repeats long-standing mistakes in how international relations theorists think about morality. Falsely equating consequentialism with state egoism and normative obligations with restrictions on the use of weapons of mass destruction implies that ethically motivated beliefs about foreign affairs must be other-regarding and that other-regarding behavior is not utilitarian in character. Drawing on empirical research into moral psychology, we argue that liberal, other-regarding morality is only one kind of ethical foundati

Abstract:
We are morally perplexed about nuclear weapons. Popular debate oscillates tediously between an apparently impractical idealism which would have nothing to do with the things, and a military and political realism which insists that we have to use such means to attain our legitimate ends. The choice, it too often seems, is between laying down our nuclear arms–thus avoiding the moral odium of resting our defence policies on threats to vaporize millions of civilians–but leaving ourselves open to domination by those who do not feel such scruples, and on the other hand, retaining such weapons as lon

Abstract:
This paper addresses the ethical challenges raised by the use of lethal autonomous weapons systems. Using aspects of the philosophy of Martin Heidegger, the paper demonstrates that lethal autonomous weapons systems create ethical problems because of the lack of moral agency in an autonomous system, and the inauthentic nature of the deaths caused by such a system. The paper considers potential solutions for these issues before arguing that from a Heideggerian standpoint they cannot be overcome, and thus the development and use of lethal autonomous weapons systems should be resisted and prohibit

Abstract:
IntroductionIssues in public policy have been challenging and remaking moral theory for two centuries. Such issues force us to question fundamental principles of ethics while they cast doubt on our ability to generalize from traditional intuitions. No issue poses more remarkable difficulties for moral theory than nuclear weapons policy. Because the consequences of their deployment and therefore possible use could be grievous beyond those of any previously conceivable human action, these weapons frame the conflict between outcome-based, especially utilitarian, and action-based deontological mor

Abstract:
AbstractScott Sagan asked me to revisit Nuclear Ethics, a book I published in 1986, in light of current developments in world affairs. In doing so, I found that much had changed but the basic usability paradox of nuclear deterrence remains the same. As do the ethical dilemmas. To deter, there must be some prospect of use, but easy usability could produce highly immoral consequences. Some risk is unavoidable and the moral task is how best to lower it. Nuclear weapons pose moral problems but nuclear use is the greater evil. Abolition may be a worthy long-term goal, but it is unlikely in the shor

Abstract:
Despite the main attention being given within the economic activity to the issues of efficiency and competitiveness, one shouldn’t oversee the ethical aspects of business and economic policy. Quite important are also the matters of truth and false in economic research. Several phenomena and processes - subsidies, dumping, weapons trading, fiscal system and policy - do have also their moral dimension, not just the economic one. Hence, the issues of ethics should be considered and discussed in a wider context. From this perspective there is still a lot to be done, especially in the countries wit

Abstract:
The subject of this dissertation is the dual-use dilemma, which arises in the context of research in the life and other sciences as a consequence of the fact that one and the same piece of scientific research has the potential to be used for harm as well as for good. In the life sciences, this dilemma is often characterised by the capacity for emerging research and technology to be used to greatly improve our health, wealth, and overall well-being, while at the same time bringing with it the capability to enable acts of bioterrorism. Within the regulatory debate about dual-use research, the po

Abstract:
Vatican II provided the Catholic Church with an opportunity for deep reflection and to align its theological teachings with modern times. This reflection resulted in a resurgence of the importance of Christian marriage and family living. Beyond Vatican II, the Christian family has been described as a ‘domestic’ church. This description defines the family founded on marriage as a cornerstone for the church and society. The Church has realised that if she has to succeed in her mission of evangelisation, she needs to strengthen the families founded on the sacrament of marriage and also to take ca

Abstract This chapter re-examines Italo Calvino’s “lightness” through the filter of his apocalyptic obsession, demonstrating how the science-fiction meta-narrative he employs in his later works is far from being playful; it should be understood instead as the only feasible way to represent a reality imbued with the simulation that characterized the Cold War era. The chapter focuses especially on the collection Cosmicomics, written shortly after the Cuban missile crisis. In it, Calvino contemplates the original possibility of existing precisely at the time when the threat of collective extincti

Abstract:
Terrorist events are breaking news for the media whose ethical responsibility can be debatable. Tactics of terrorism vary from kidnapping, hostage-taking, hijackings, and others up to mass destruction, including the use of nuclear weapons. Media responses and coverage strategies of such tactics also vary, with some reluctant to provide terrorists with the “oxygen of publicity.” Some striking similarities have appeared recently between the build-up to the war on Iraq begun by U.S. President George W. Bush's administration in 2002, culminating with the start of war in 2003, and the 2012 push by
