POLT 238 - The Justice of War? Semester Offered: First Semester Credits (Range): 3 Hours Attribute: 3 SS
New course added 05.08.08.
Are there any “good” wars? This course explores, through a study of classical and contemporary texts, when, if ever, war might be morally justified and when it might not. There will be some philosophical examination of just means in a war, but the course focuses on the reasons for going to war. Particular wars may be used illustratively, but the course is situated squarely in the field of the political and moral philosophy of war. Instructor: S. Misra
