Despite worries about paternalism, when we are unjustifiably attacked, we are morally warranted, and sometimes required, to act in self-defense for the sake of our attacker to prevent him from committing this morally defiling act. Similarly, when a third party is unjustifiably attacked and we can assist without undue cost, we are morally warranted, and sometimes required, to act in third-party defense for the sake of the attacker as well as the victim, to prevent the attacker from committing this morally defiling act. The case for these claims can be extended to national defense and humanitarian intervention.

为了我们的攻击者而采取防守行动

尽管担心家长作风，但当我们受到无理攻击时，我们在道德上有理由，有时甚至被要求为攻击者采取自卫行动，以防止他犯下这种有损道德的行为。同样，当第三方受到无理攻击并且我们可以在不承担不当成本的情况下提供帮助时，出于攻击者和受害者的利益，我们在道义上有必要，有时甚至被要求采取第三方防御行动，以防止攻击者犯下这种玷污道德的行为。这些索赔的理由可以扩展到国防和人道主义干预。
