Philosophy Today Public Lecture Series 2025 | Prof Lilian ALweiss | War and Peace
Date: 20 Feb - 20 Feb 2025
Time: 19:00 - 20:30
Venue: The JM Synge Theatre, The Arts Building, Trinity College Dublin
Is it ever morally justifiable to kill in war? While some argue that war can be justified under certain conditions- such as self-defence or protecting justice, others see it as a path that only deepens conflict and perpetuates a cycle of violence. Lilian Alweiss, an expert of Kantian philosophy, will examine moral questions around conflict and peace.
This event is part of Philosophy Today 2025, the popular public lecture series that explores how philosophy engages with the challenges of the modern world. Through six thought-provoking talks followed by interactive Q&A sessions, Trinity College Dublin’s philosophers share insights from their latest research, connecting philosophical ideas to some of today’s most pressing issues.
