As outbreaks of violence around the world continually remind us, war, terrorism, and the elusiveness of peace are among the deepest problems facing humankind. This is the course weblog for Philosophy 140: Introduction to War, Peace, and Terrorism. It is a place for students to showcase their research into ongoing conflicts, and their views on the morality of war.
