| 2002 Summer Seminar |
—Aeon J. Skoble, Ph.D.
Course Description:
This lecture will examine the ethical dimensions of military activity with some consideration of pacifism and terrorism. This area poses special problems for those with an Objectivist or Libertarian outlook, since there seems to be an inherently collectivist premise involved. Can people devoted to freedom and individualism rationally support collective action in self-defense? How should Objectivists and Libertarians respond to the terrorist attacks? What is the role of the military in a free society? Prof. Skoble teaches philosophy at Bridgewater State College in Massachusetts, and was previously a visiting professor at the United States Military Academy at West Point.
