Just and Unjust Wars: A Moral Argument with Historical

Walzer, Michael. Just and Unjust Wars: A Moral Argument with Historical Illustrations. 5th ed. New York: Basic Books, 2015.

Why this matters here

Walzer’s Just and Unjust Wars develops proportionality and related just-war constraints as moral limits on harm in conflict, illustrated historically. After Certainty adapts the proportionality idea to speech under incomplete control: say what can honestly be said, leave room for revision, and treat silence sometimes as restraint measured by effects rather than as withdrawal from responsibility.
