Page Contents >

Forum for European Philosophy public lecture

Date: Tuesday 11 December 2012 
Time: 6.30-8pm 
Venue: Wolfson Theatre, New Academic Building
Speaker: Professor Chris Bertram

What can Rousseau’s recently reconstructed fragment Principles of the Right of War tell us about war and “humanitarian intervention” today? Are the principles of just war theory simply a fig leaf for power?

Chris Bertram is professor of social and political philosophy at the University of Bristol.
