It shows that wars can be morally justified at both the \u003cem\u003ead bellum\u003c\/em\u003e level (the political decision to go to war) and the \u003cem\u003ein bello\u003c\/em\u003e level (its actual conduct by the military)by accepting a contractarian account of the rules governing war. According to this account, the rules of war are anchored in a mutually beneficial and fair agreement between the relevant players - the purpose of which is to promote peace and to reduce the horrors of war. The book relies on the long social contract tradition and illustrates its fruitfulness in understanding and developing the morality and the law of war.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYitzhak Benbaji, \u003cem\u003eProfessor of Philosophy, Tel-Aviv University\u003c\/em\u003e, Daniel Statman, \u003cem\u003eHead of the Philosophy Department, University of Haifa\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eYitzhak Benbaji teaches philosophy at Tel-Aviv University Faculty of Law.
