Loose Ends on Self-Defense
Where We Are
This is our last class on self-defense, and the last class of Unit 3 of the course. Today we're going to wrap up our consideration of the morality of war and cover some loose ends about the ethics of self-defense.
Reading
The reading for last class was chapter 2 of Helen Frowe's textbook, The Ethics of War and Peace. The reading for today's class is chapter 6.
Missing Course Video: Compound Arguments
There was an error in the course calendar earlier in the semester and course video #4: Compound Arguments never appeared in the course calendar. (“There was an error” as in, “I made a mistake.”) So this is out of order, and for that I apologize, but here it is. (Some of you may have already found it directly through the PlayPosit website, and don’t need to watch it again.)
The Listening
We have one more episode of Hi-Phi Nation looking into issues about war - this time on gender and war. This episode takes us a little aside from our main thread on the morality of self-defense, but I think you will all agree that it is pretty fascinating stuff. You can listen to this episode here:
