This course will explore historical, ethical, and political issues concerned with peace and war. We will examine the just war tradition, beginning in the medieval period, as well as recent developments in the field, such as topics in transitional justice. While the main emphasis will be on philosophical justifications for war and visions of just peace, we will also examine religious, historical, literary, and journalistic texts to focus the imagination on the philosophical issues and to connect theoretical frameworks to historical and contemporary events.
