Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the profession of arms and the ethics of the warrior by examining its virtues, its development to deter warfare, and the moral quandaries military professionals face. The author argues that the profession of arms is not about winning wars, but preventing them. As such, the purpose of military force is the preservation of peace. The author suggests that the military profession fosters virtues, such as loyalty, courage, and fortitude, which are indispensable in combat but also extend to other aspects of living. The book grapples with the tension between the necessity of military force and the desire for peace. It concludes that, in an imperfect world, the profession of arms provides a flawed but vital means of maintaining order and preventing a harsher form of anarchy. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
