War Crimes

from Philosophy Talk · host Philosophy Talk

In war, people do awful things to other people. But the concept of ‘war crime’ suggests that some things are worse than others. How do we disentangle what’s fair play from what’s criminal? What are the ethical justifications for regarding some of the evils of war as worse than others? John and Ken bring on noted guest David Luban to explore the challenging subject of war crimes.
