Abstract: In this paper I show that familiar forms of pacifism &ndash\; those that depend on the general immorality of violence\, either on a fundamentally moral basis or an empirical basis\, are false. However\, I also argue that people are sometimes justified in becoming pacifists because of the good effects of becoming a pacifist. That is so even though their pacifist commitments will dispose them to wrongdoing. I then show that pacifists are sometimes excused for their wrongdoing\, but that there are quite stringent conditions for such excuses. Finally\, I argue that pacifists can be admirable for the good deeds that result from their pacifism even though they are disposed to wrongdoing.
