Ethics and War
The study of the ethical issues raised by wars is rarely dealt with in the college curriculum so to address this shortcoming, we are partnering with a number of departments and programs to launch a series on Ethics and War. This series will feature philosophers, writers, journalists, historians, social scientists, human rights activists, and policy makers who have grappled with the hard moral questions raised by wars. Our hope is to stimulate campus wide discussion and reflection, research and engagement, on the ethical considerations involved in the decision to go to war, the conduct of war, and the aftermath of war.
