A new Rutgers philosophy seminar aims to arm future officers and civilian leaders with a better understanding of war's moral complexities so they are equipped to make those hard decisions.
In what is possibly the first seminar series in the country to link civilian and military institutions and students for an advanced interdisciplinary study of morality in war, West Point cadets and Rutgers undergraduate and graduate philosophy students gathered this summer in New Brunswick to discuss the ethics, law and effectiveness of political violence.

Maj. Ian Fishback developed the three-week pilot program, "Normative Dimensions of War," with Rutgers philosophy professor Jeff McMahan, an expert in "just war" theory. The course stems from Fishback's experiences wrestling with ethical questions as he led troops in combat and as a West Point professor striving to prepare young soldiers for what may lie ahead.
