POSC 210 - Politics of War 3 Credit Hours
For thousands of years war has been discussed. Is war a reality of human nature or a construct of culture? The central question of political philosophy, how we live together, cannot escape the question of war. From Sun Tzu warring Chinese factions to the US in Afghanistan to Russia on the border of Ukraine the questions of when, how, why have permeated political life. Wilson’s war to end all war was an unmitigated failure on that point. This course will take an admittedly cursory look at the question of war from many angles. We will examine the very challenging is/ought question of engaging in war and how war is conducted. We will do this through examination of different thinkers and conflicts in history.
