Guerra e justiça : a tradição filosófica sobre a guerra justa, em Francisco de Vitória
| Resumo: | Given the apparent inevitability of war, in its various forms, the following questions arise: what makes a war just or unjust? Does it depend on the means of legitimisation? On the methods used in its execution? On the proportionality of the means used? But first, and no less importantly, is it possible to speak of justice in war? This study aims to answer this and other relevant questions. In this sense, we will seek to illustrate the conceptualisation and characteristics of just war, systematically presenting its evolution in the history of philosophy, and then analyse the relationship between ethics and just war, contextualising, in general terms, the neo-scholastic historical period, taking as our starting and ending point the work Relectio de iure belli by Victoria. To carry out this research, we chose to follow the method of literary review, which consists of analysing the literature surrounding philosophical and legal thinking on war. More specifically, we focused on the idea of war in neo-scholastic thought from a Victorian perspective, based on readings and hermeneutics from sources such as Calafate, P. (ed.), 2015. The Iberian School of Peace at the Universities of Coimbra and Évora (16th Century). Vol. 1: On the Matters of War and Peace. Coimbra: Almedina. |
