Students on Just War and How to End War

• In Event: Critical Explorations: Students Grappling With Critical Questions and Issues

Abstract

This article describes two Socratic Seminar discussions, one focused on questioning just war and the other offering a perspective on how to end war. These discussions are the focus of this article because they show the complex and nuanced thinking and questioning students engaged in about what might constitute a just war (if anything) and how war can be ended by determined humans.
