This article is to criticize the ethical principles of the Just War Theory, surveying the origins and history of a Just War, and then to survey ethical problems in applying just war theory. If war is inevitable, then the Just War Theory’s purpose is to minimize the victims and destruction from war and limit the scale and scope of war. Therefore this not only distinguishes the Just War and the unjust war from each other, but also allows only a war with a legitimate cause and proper course to take place. The principles of a Just War are divided into two main elements; Jus ad bellum and Jus in Bello. According to Jus ad bellum; 1) There must be a just cause for war. 2) War must be the last resort. 3) War must be declared and carried out by proper authority. 3) The final objective must always be peace. 4) War must be carried out by right intention. 5) There must be a reasonable hope for victory. 6) Proportionality means that the good toward which the war aims is proportional to the evil that the war will cause, meaning that the advantages from the outcome of war should exceed the disadvantages. 7) The objectives of war must be limited. Jus in Bello states that; 1) Discrimination: We must distinguish between noncombatants and combatants in order to avoid unnecessary loss of life. 2) Proportionality; There must be proportion between the means and the objective. There are many realistic ethical problems in applying the Just War Theory. First of all, it would be a complete misuse of the ideology to succeed in minimizing and limiting the scope and damage of war. Second, with regards to the result of war, a war with the intention of preventing a great evil and securing a better good has the potential to produce an even greater evil through the circularization and continuation of violence. Third, the development of nuclear weapons is excluded from the Just War Theory because the use of nuclear weapon will most likely result in MAD (mutually assured destruction). Therefore, if the authentic aim of war is the restoration of peace, it is necessary to prevent and limit war to every extent possible. So we must work for peace throughout our world and maintain a realistic effort for coexistence with each other in order to prevent having to implement a case for Just War.

This thesis studies the imagination and deviation from the accident in the realism and its origin of 18th century novel. The Utopia is the place of no where, just as fictional place drawing in the possible words. But there are ways to utopian worlds for the readers led by the visitor who guides ideal world on what possible worlds and future paths are. Novels are in the 18th century initially depended on the author's creative power and intelligence to build up an event of fictional story. When they made publication of new story which involved lots of silence and absence of the text, another writers were engaged in writing deviated story to modify and repeat the problem in the text that did not show the truth of the accident. An accident is the conflict between actual problem and imagined reality when the physical changes come into the culture of the world in the novel. In the case, to solve the problem of possible worlds needs the logic modality because all texts project a system of worlds, modal universe on how the difference between fiction and nonfiction can be characterized in the framework of possible worlds. Possible worlds and individuals are discursively in philosophy vogue nowadays. While philosophers have invoked the concepts of story to explain what a possible worlds is, literary theorists have developed a textual semantics based on the idea that the semantic domain projected by the literary text is a non-actual possible world of an alternative possible world. This is the main idea in this thesis that we have to understand what the real world and possible worlds are in the field of philosophical and literary works. It is important to know that utopian worlds are incompatible when they try to meet the demand and desire between two studies. But in the field of literary works writers and critics have studied the object of possible worlds in the surface of the accident as a real structure existing in the fictional world. They use the possible worlds as an alternative or media to know real world. Therefore, it is true that there are many ways to access to the actual world studying the deviation, experiment, the opposition of the two worlds for the vision of future world. Utopian imagination and deviation in the text are the problem of ubiquitous existence out of possible worlds.
