War, Terrorism, and Violence (Audio Classics: Morality in Our Age) Nicholas Fotion Unabridged edition

Original material by Dr. Nicholas Fotion, Edited by Professor John Lachs and Mike Hassel, Produced by Pat Childs

Some think that humans are naturally aggressive and that wars are unavoidable; others believe that morality demands a pacifist condemnation of all forms of violence. A large middle ground involves the attempt to define ?just wars,? and rules have been written to govern how war should be conducted among civilized peoples. Is war ever justified? Is aggression or is the threat of force an appropriate diplomatic tool? If nuclear war would be a catastrophe, are we morally obligated to avoid it at all costs?

The Morality in Our Age series examines the historical and philosophical background of today?s most pressing moral challenges. Here the realities of money, sex, power, and violence meet the ideals of responsibility, integrity, and moral well-being. Though a final ?answer? is notoriously elusive in moral discussion, you?ll develop a much better insight into the forces and principles at play on today?s most serious moral issues, problems, and dilemmas.
