Abstract | My critique of the view of war,primarily in terms of psychology,is to overlook its essential moral dimension. This is the result of the standard Buddhist strategy of psychologizing ethics. The use of force can be justified in certain circumstances. Buddhism accepts the concept of a 'just war' . There is nothing intrinsically immoral about a just war and participating in one need not be motivated by greed,hatred or delusion. |
