Institution:

DePaul University

Subject:

Description:

This course is a philosophical engagement of the topic of war and peace. We will investigate the origin and causes of human conflict usings the skills and resources of philosophy. In engaging the course materials, students will develop and demonstrate critical reading and analytical skills that are deeply rooted in the Western philosophical tradition. We will also learn skills that call this tradition in question - that challenge the hegemony and complicity of Western values and thinking with the question of "war." Philosophy will be, for us, not only a way of interpreting texts, but also a way of changing the world and of developing conflict intervention skills.
