- Under what conditions are wars permissible, if at all?
- Which recent and ongoing wars could we classify as just, if at all?
- Can we find a middle point between pacifism and just war theory?
- Does it even make sense to defend pacifism if war seems inevitable anyway?
Let's discuss! Join us for a discussion evening on June 12th, 2025, to discuss whether pacifism and just war theory can be reconciled with each other. We'll prepare a summery couscous dish together, eat, and explore ideas in a casual setting.

Pacifism is the winner ideology. Militarism is for losers.
