In this book, Alberto Castelli, Giunia Gatta, Micaela Latini, and Francesco Raschi examine how four prominent intellectuals of the 20th century (Bertrand Russell, Karl Jaspers, Raymond Aron, and Günther Anders) understood atomic warfare. With a chapter devoted to the philosophical ideas of each thinker and how they understood and interpreted war, the authors analyze the historic-political context in which these ideas emerged and what they proposed to avoid a nuclear disaster. Four Philosophers and the Bomb will be of interest to students and researchers of peace studies, international relations, political philosophy, and moral philosophy.
