War

This week’s theme is a topical one, War. In fact, it’s always topical because there is always an armed conflict going on somewhere. So, we will have the chance to revisit the classic question: 'What is a Just War?’ Just as important and definitely topical is the question of how one goes about ending a war. What does victory look like? How might we assess the outcome of that war?
We will also look at the conduct of war, for both military and civilian contexts. The shape of future technology in determining how wars are fought and maybe even a question about the prospect of a civil war in one of the Western democracies! Led by Mike Topic.
Please put your mobile aside for the duration! You are welcome to join in our discussion or just listen. If you want to Present a topic just have a chat with Peter next time. We need to pay for stuff, photocopying etc., so please make a donation of £3 if you are unwaged, £4 if you are waged. If we 'make' any money we give it to charity, (see messages). Looking forwards to seeing you at the Lloyds 7.30pm Tuesday evening .

Our rules
Whenever we engage in an intellectual discussion, our goal ought to be to converge on the truth.
We can all promote reason by changing the mores of intellectual discussion, so people treat their beliefs as hypotheses to be tested rather than slogans to be defended. Whilst you may disagree with some ideas, we are here to have a civilised debate. Support others to share the time.
To summarise: listen and be kind to each other.
