Brian Orend, a philosophy professor at the University of Waterloo, Canada, has also taught at Columbia University in New York City.
``For many reasons this book...is a valuable contribution to the
just war tradition.'' -- J. M. Betz -- Choice
``Opening a new topic in Kant scholarship as well as a new
perspective on international relations, Brian Orend has delivered
an impressive first book that is likely to refresh and stimulate
debate.'' -- Thomas W. Pogge, Columbia University
``With a nice combination of insight and ingenuity, Orend discovers
and constructs a Kantian account of just war -- which is marked by
a unique emphasis on jus post bellum, the justice of post-war
settlements. He then develops this account precisely and
elegantly....The result is an important contribution to the
philosophical analysis of morality and war.'' -- Michael Walzer,
Institute of Advance Studies, Princeton University
