"This book offers a philosophical analysis of the moral and legal justifications for
the use of force. While the book focuses on the ethics self-defense, it also explores
its relation to lesser evil justifications, public authority, the justification of
punishment, and the ethics of war. Steinhoff's account of the moral use of force covers
a wide range of topics, including the nature of justification in general, the precise
elements of different justifications, the logic of claim- and liberty-rights and of
rights forfeiture, the value of human life and its limits, and the princples of reciprocity
and precaution. While the author's analysis is primarily philosophical, it is informed
by a metaethical stance that also places heavy emphasis on existing law and legal
scholarship. In doing so, the book appeals to widely shared moral intuitions, precepts,
and concepts grounded in criminal law. Self-Defense, Necessity, and Punishment offers
the most comprehensive and systematic account of the ethics of self-defense. It will
be of interest to scholars and graduate students working in applied ethics and moral
philosophy, philosophy of law, and political philosophy"
