Philosophy Talk: 'The Theory of Just War'- Saba Bazargan-Forward

Tuesday, April 26, 2022 at 6:30 PM
San Diego Central Public Library
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?
