    This document outlines different positions on the morality of war based on Robert L. Holmes' work "On War and Morality". It presents four questions - whether moral considerations apply to war at all, should they be applied, should they be decisive, and whether war is ever justified. For each question, it gives two opposing answers ("yes" or "no") and associates them with a type of political or moral view, such as positivistic political realism, just war theory, or pacifism.

    A Flowchart on the Morality of War (Based on Robert L.

    Holmes, On War and Morality [1989]) Keith Burgess-Jackson 11 April 2003 Are moral considerations applicable to war? No. This is positivistic political realism. [M]orality has no application whatever to international relations (page 56). Yes. Should moral considerations be applied to war? No. This is strong normative political realism. [Moral] notions should [not] be appealed to in international relations (57). Yes. Should moral considerations be decisive? No. This is weak normative political realism. [M]oral considerations should [not] be decisive in the determination of [foreign] policy (57). Yes. This is idealism. [S]tates ought always to act morally (57). Is war ever morally justified? No. I call this extreme pacifism. Yes. Is war morally justified today, given the technology that exists? No. I call this moderate pacifism. [W]ar in the modern world is not morally justified (14). Holmes is in this category. Yes, provided certain requirements are satisfied. The just-war theory falls in this category. [W]ar is sometimes morally permissible (49).
