BIG IDEAS IN THE PUB | Just War or Just Peace?

Details

Join us for an evening of philosophical engagement with the profound tensions and questions emerging from the brutal violence that has gripped so many parts of the world.

Dr Helen Durham AO, Professorial Fellow University of Melbourne and CEO of RedR Australia, and
Professor Emeritus Joseph Camilleri OAM, Convener, Conversation at the Crossroads
in dialogue with our host for the evening
Tim Adalin, philosopher and host of the Voicecraft podcast and Underground Philosophy*.*
Over dinner, conversation, and facilitated collective reflection, we will consider some challenging but critically important questions:

  • How do we respond to the destructiveness of war in our time - in Gaza, Ukraine, Sudan, Myanmar? And what of the nuclear threat and the implications for climate change?
  • Does the concept of "just war" offer an adequate response? Are the principles that govern international humanitarian law fit for purpose? How well are the principles applied?
  • Where do war and peace fit in our vision of the human future?
