Episode 57 - The Ethics of War

Contemplation With Conor · Aug 5, 2026 · 3m

Is violence ever ethical? In this episode, we explore Just War Theory—the attempt to set moral limits on one of humanity’s darkest realities. From the principles of just cause and proportionality, to the tension between theory and practice, we reflect on whether war can ever truly be just… or whether every battle remains a tragedy that ethics can never fully resolve.
