Heritage And War: Ethical Issues
The World Responded With Horror To Isis's Campaign Of Destruction Of Cultural Heritage Across The Middle East, Including With Calls For An International Response To Prevent Such Damage. At The Same Time, Newspapers And Screens Were Filled With Images Of Human Destruction, Devastated Cities, And Thousands Of Refugees Fleeing The Conflict. This Juxtaposition Caused A Backlash Against Those Voicing Their Concerns About The Destruction Of Ancient Ruins, Popularly Framed As Dispute About 'stone Versus Lives'. In The Face Of So Much Human Suffering, It Can Seem Inappropriate To Worry About Anything But The Urgent, Basic Needs Of People. This Book Addresses This Issue Within The Context Of A Wider Debate, Amidst A Range Of Moral Questions. Edited By William Bülow, Helen Frowe, Derek Matravers, And Joshua Lewis Thomas. This Edition Also Issued In Print: 2023. Includes Bibliographical References And Index.
