Philosophy Talk: The Theory of Just War Primary tabs
330 Park Boulevard, San Diego, 92101
Age Limit: 18+
Cost: Free
Is there such a thing as a good war? And can a war, with its violence and legacy of suffering, ever be considered just? Join Professor Saba Bazargan-Forward of the Philosophy Department at UCSD in a discussion of Just War Theory and its use by rulers and nations in the preparation and conduct of war. The concept of a just war deals with the justification of how and why wars are fought. And who came up with this doctrine anyway that holds that a conflict can, and ought to meet and follow certain prescribed rules and conditions?
