Zum ethischen Problem nuklearer Abschreckung heute

Aktuelle Re-Lektüre der »Heidelberger Thesen« von 1959

  • Hans-Richard Reuter

Abstract

About forty years ago- in 1959- the »Heidelberger Thesen« were published. In (West) German Protestantism, this document was soon accepted as a basis for peace ethics during the Cold War. After the East-West conflict came to an end, nuclear weapons at first appeared irrelevant. But ultimately this did not prove to be the case. One could therefore assume that the Heidelberg compromise formulae would still be valid. The essay disputes this view, referring to the original document's lack of clarity and also to the current political and strategic situation
