Questions:
1. What are the popular positions on justice in war? What do people commonly believe to be just or injust about how wars are started and how they are carried out by the adversaries?

2. What are the moral prerequisites/premices required to decide on the justness of a war and how its carried out?

3. Does the justness of a war impact what a particular party can do during it?

4. What do you think should be the main principles of how combat is carried out?

5. What judgement can you pass on current and passed conflicts?

Come discuss this topic and whether you agree with Ayn Rand or not in a roundtable format with other interested people! We use Rand's writings as a starting point for the discussion but this group is for discussing philosophical issues more generally! Feel free to come present your or your favourite philosopher's ideas on the subject.

Location: We will be meeting inside the Duke of Cambridge pub, at the back near the board game tables
Format: Roundtable discussion, moderated to ensure everyone gets a shot at intervening on each point and to keep the discussion on topic.

Feel free to message the group if you have any trouble finding us or ask the bartenders
