What Counts as a War of Self-Defence? Iran & Beyond w. Prof David Rodin
What actually counts as self-defence when waging war? The 21st century has seen a pivot towards ‘preventive wars’: wars fought in anticipation of a possible future attack. The war in Iran is the latest example. What can philosophy tell us about these wars?My conversation with Prof David Rodin, a world-leading ethicist of war, covers these questions and other topics, including the Israel-Palestine conflict; the "conspiracy paradox"; nuclear threats; the moral duty to spy; the psychology of those waging unjust wars; and non-military ways of warding off an invasion.Give your feedback! https://tinyurl.com/feedbackformSurprisingEthicsPodcast website for contact details and more: surprisingethics.buzzsprout.comInstagram: @surprising_ethics_podcast tinyurl.com/surprisingethics
