This project aims to provide a novel philosophical account of the invention of the concept of collateral damage in war. It seeks to understand the historical and institutional processes that have produced a moral distinction between deliberate harm inflicted on non-combatants, and the non-intentional harm that is seen as an inevitable side effect of modern warfare. Drawing on archival material and military manuals, and combining insights from the history of human rights and contemporary European political philosophy, the project aims to produce a sophisticated philosophical framework for understanding the social and political implications of conceiving civilian deaths as collateral damage to contribute to public debate about the human costs of war.

该项目旨在对战争中附带损害概念的发明提供一种新的哲学解释。它试图理解的历史和制度的过程，产生了对非战斗人员造成的故意伤害和被视为现代战争不可避免的副作用的非故意伤害之间的道德区别。该项目利用档案材料和军事手册，并结合人权史和当代欧洲政治哲学的见解，旨在建立一个复杂的哲学框架，以了解将平民死亡视为附带损害的社会和政治影响，以促进关于战争人类代价的公共辩论。
