This symposium is presented in partnership with the Global Ethics and Religion Forum, an educational nonprofit organisation dedicated to promoting global ethical responsibility Arrayed against deep human aspirations to live in harmony and peace, the persistence of war threatens justice and sustainable living and poses a daunting challenge to the world's religious and spiritual traditions. This symposium aims to address these challenges through an analysis of the theory of just war," a doctrine with a long history of religious reflection. This doctrine holds that armed conflict must be restrained by clearly articulated ethical criteria. In this symposium, experts will address the need for a revised and complete ethics of war ar peace for a just world. The multi-religious panels offered on this subject will explore some of the most salient ways in which the role of religious and spiritual traditions in just war thinking intersect with and can be brought to bear upon important dimensions of human and planetary sustainability See back of book for full descriptions.
