Скачать или смотреть The Problem of Evil: International Law's Crisis of Faith

In this video, we explore the parallels between the declaration of 'God is Dead' by Nietzsche and the recent claims that 'International Law is Dead'. Both God and international law, as belief systems, are vulnerable to disillusionment and loss of faith. We delve into the structure of belief systems and their decline, focusing on the problem of evil as a key source of this erosion.
We discuss how the genocide in Gaza has brought to light the contradictions between international law's promises and its reality, testing the faith of its believers. The discipline of international law is divided, with some adopting a technical reasoning approach, akin to theodicy, while others question the conscionability of believing in a system that fails to prevent such atrocities.
The video examines the resilience of belief systems and their ability to absorb shocks, offering a trajectory beyond simple narratives of crisis and death. We highlight the importance of public faith and the experience of believability for the authority and influence of international law. Join us as we navigate the complex relationship between belief, law, and the pursuit of justice.
