Dans un monde où les conflits armés redessinent sans cesse les équilibres politiques et moraux, la question de la guerre juste reste d'une brûlante actualité. Peut-on encore, à l'ère des interventions humanitaires et des violences asymétriques, parler d'une éthique de la guerre ? Le philosophe américain Michael Walzer propose une réflexion exigeante sur les conditions de légitimité du recours à la force et sur les principes qui doivent en régir la conduite.Comment Walzer articule-t-il justice, responsabilité et légitimité dans l'univers tragique de la guerre ? En quoi sa pensée se distingue-t-elle du pacifisme et du réalisme politique ?Pour explorer ces questions, nous recevons Cécile Renouard, philosophe et enseignante aux Facultés Loyola Paris. Elle nous dévoile les grandes lignes de son cours sur Walzer : l'exigence morale au cœur de toute décision militaire, la distinction entre justice du combat et justice dans le combat, et la tension permanente entre l'idéal de paix et les nécessités de la politique. Un échange essentiel pour penser l'éthique de la guerre aujourd'hui.Entretien réalisé par Parnel LedagaDoctorant en philosophie aux Facultés Loyola ParisHébergé par Ausha.

On August 6, 1945, an atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima, instantly killing up to 80,000 civilians, with another 40,000 dying soon after from burns and radiation poisoning. The bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki led to the surrender of the Japanese Army, marking the end of the most destructive war in history. War has been a constant throughout history. Since the dawn of agriculture, humans have waged war against one another. Some argue that war is ingrained in human nature, from our ancestors battling over resources and empires seeking expansion, to biblical genocides and acts of human sacrifice—Homo sapiens are seemingly insatiable for conflict. Others, however, believe war is not inevitable and that we have the capacity for humility, justice, and kindness without resorting to armed conflict. We must remember that explaining war is not the same as justifying it. While pacifism, as exemplified by Jesus and Gandhi, is often seen as noble, is non-violence truly effective against regimes intent on ethnic cleansing? If not, how do we determine when war is justified and what defines proportional force? Can the killing of innocent civilians ever be justified? And, if not, how do they differ from innocent combatants? War, huh, good god, what is it good for? Links A.C. Grayling, War: An Enquiry (book) Richard Overy, Why War?

Why war isn't as simple as two armies fighting, the obsession with "2,000 pound bombs", Hamas's non-battlefield strategy (which the media helps it achieve) and so much more with John Spencer.No one understands the intricacies of modern warfare like John Spencer. As a retired US Army Major and chair of Urban Warfare Studies at the Modern War Institute at West Point, not only has he studied war for years, he also put his boots on the ground as a soldier and researcher (including several visits to Gaza over the last year). So of course, we asked him the important questions - are we all going to die? Is he single? And why is he so obsessed with concrete?The After Action Review:How did he learn about Israel?Global world orderRemember when Iran attacked Israel?? What was up with that.There are worse things than warA Just War? Yes (here's what the author of the Just War theory, Michael Walzer, had to say last year)Drones!

Com conflitos a pulular nas diferentes regiões do mundo, a pergunta impõe-se: há ética na guerra? «É bom que haja», diz-nos João Pereira Coutinho. Mas como?Neste episódio, discutem-se as condições que é preciso reunir para que uma guerra se possa considerar justa. Mas se acha que dificilmente pode haver consenso quanto ao tema, acertou.João Pereira Coutinho e Manuel Cardoso discutem a tensa relação entre a democracia e a guerra, numa viagem que nos leva da Crimeia do século XIX à Ucrânia do século XXI, passando pela Revolução do 25 de abril.Fala-se de desinformação e de propaganda, já que é também na arena da opinião pública que se determinam vencedores e vencidos (veja-se o caso da Guerra do Vietname).E como julgar quem pratica crimes de guerra? Estará o direito internacional munido das ferramentas necessárias para responsabilizar quem vai longe demais?Junte-se à dupla nesta reflexão sobre aquele que está, rapidamente, a tornar-se o tema do nosso tempo.REFERÊNCIAS ÚTEISJoslyn N.

Americký filozof Michael Walzer se před 50 lety ptal, jestli je možné dělat politiku, aniž by si člověk ušpinil ruce. „Nikoli úspěšně,“ cituje v Osobnosti Plus svého amerického kolegu český filozof Jakub Jirsa. Jak se podle něj spojují v osobě politika morálka a etika? „Otázka je, kdo chceme, aby byl naším politickým reprezentantem: eticky čistý politik, nebo úspěšný politik?“ ptá se vědec.

La philosophie nord-américaine contemporaine a donné au monde un certain nombre de grands penseurs tels que John Rawls, Ronald Dworkin, Michael Sandel ou encore Martha Nussbaum et Charles Taylor. À cette liste, nous pouvons ajouter Michael Walzer. Auteur influent des dernières décennies, Walzer a beaucoup travaillé sur des questions relatives à la société juste, à la guerre juste, l'universalisme et le multiculturalisme, la justice distributive ou encore la tolérance. Il reste pourtant assez peu connu en France. Cécile Renouard, docteure en philosophie et autrice de l'ouvrage Michaël Wazer ou l'art libéral du civisme, nous fait découvrir ce philosophe et sa pensée. Entretien réalisé par Parnel Ledaga, Doctorant en philosophie politique aud Facultés Loyola Paris.

The war between Israel and Hamas is nearly 100 days old. As the International Court of Justice in the Hague, which prompts a spirited exchange of views between Yonit and Jonathan, the two hosts talk to the world's leading authority on the morality of war, Michael Walzer. Plus: why Israel's politicians chose to announce the end of the first phase of operations in English rather than Hebrew, plus a serial winner of Unholy's chutzpah award comes back to claim yet another trophy.

On today's episode of Hear Me Out… atrocities beget atrocities. The war in Gaza is ongoing, and brutal – and on this show we've discussed whether you, as an observer, have a responsibility to speak out about it… or to even choose a side between Israelis and Palestinians. This week, we take a different angle: who has a responsibility, in war, to do what? And not do what? And to whom? Michael Walzer, author and professor emeritus at the Institute for Advanced Study, joins us to argue that even the oppressed have obligations.

Du New York Times au Monde, du Wall Street Journal au Times, d'El Pais à O Globo : de nombreux journaux internationaux affichent sur leur première page des images qui illustrent le drame qui se joue à Gaza. Une catastrophe décrite par un auteur palestinien dans le Washington Post : « Cette dernière semaine, beaucoup de Gazaouis ont écrit leur nom sur leurs jambes et leurs mains, au stylo ou au marqueur permanent, pour pouvoir être identifiés lorsque la mort viendra. » Macabre, sans doute, convient cet écrivain. Mais en réalité, affirme-t-il, « c'est parfaitement logique : nous voulons qu'on se souvienne de nous. Nous voulons que nos histoires soient racontées ». Car de Gaza, de « son labyrinthe de ruelles étroites […], il ne restera bientôt plus qu'un souvenir ».Israël a donc accéléré la cadence, ces derniers jours, de son offensive contre Gaza : « Sans ralentir le rythme des attaques aériennes », écrit El Pais en Espagne, « Israël augment[e] la présence de soldats, de chars, et d'autres véhicules. »Pas de cessez-le-feu à ce stadeBenyamin Netanyahu a rejeté l'option hier lundi ; quant aux États-Unis, rappelle le New York Times, Washington considère qu'une telle option « profiterait seulement au Hamas ». Pourtant, insiste le quotidien, les bombardements « ne sont pas la réponse » aux « atrocités commises par le Hamas contre des civils israéliens ». Évidemment, ces actions « qui ont tué plus de juifs en un jour que n'importe quel autre jour depuis la Shoah, exigent une réponse ». Mais, selon le quotidien de New York, pas celle-là. Israël a promis de « tout détruire » ; que Gaza « ne redeviendrait jamais ce qu'elle était auparavant ». Sauf que, et c'est bien, selon le quotidien, ce qui est tragique, en plus d'être « immorales », les punitions collectives sont aussi « inefficaces ».Point de vue partagé par l'intellectuel Michael Walzer, juif américain, que le quotidien espagnol El Pais a rencontré. « Voilà le dilemme de la guerre asymétrique et des Israéliens », pose-t-il : plus de civils mourront, plus le Hamas a de chances « de gagner politiquement la guerre, même si le coût militaire est très élevé ». Pourtant, un cessez-le-feu, ce philosophe y est opposé : « Je ne sais pas si [une pause humanitaire] aurait du sens. »Alors, que faire ? Pas vraiment de solution… mais Michael Walzer donne une piste : « Dans quelle mesure êtes-vous prudent dans votre réponse ? C'est tout ce que vous pouvez faire : être prudent. »Et cette question de la solution à apporter continue d'agiter les journaux car, rapporte Ha'aretz, des cadres politiques et sécuritaires contactés « admettent que, à ce stade, il n'y a pas eu, ou peu, de réflexion sur la finalité » de ces opérations. Pourtant, si Israël parvient à son objectif de détruire le Hamas, il faudra bien, exhorte le quotidien, mettre en place un nouveau cadre, « qui assurera qu'Israël ne soit pas de nouveau attaquée, tout en respectant les besoins des plus de deux millions de Palestiniens vivant à Gaza ».Quant au philosophe précédemment cité, toujours dans les colonnes d'El Pais, il se prend à rêver d'une « confédération » qui réunirait Israël, la Palestine, et la Jordanie. Une « merveilleuse solution » selon lui « plus réaliste que celle des deux États, [...] de plus en plus difficile à imaginer ».Des scènes difficilement imaginables au Daguestan russeLes journaux reviennent aujourd'hui sur cette scène, une foule en rage en guise de comité d'accueil pour un avion arrivant d'Israël. Au Royaume-Uni, le Guardian rappelle que ces événements sont intervenus avec, « en toile de fond, la posture pro-palestinienne prise par Poutine » dans le conflit, « une position alignée sur celle de l'Iran, allié du Kremlin » qui fait craindre au journal « une nouvelle hausse de l'antisémitisme en Russie » car « certains tabous » ont disparu depuis le début de la guerre en Ukraine.De fait, abonde Die Welt, « les antisémites violents du pays se sentent légitimes », la faute selon le quotidien allemand, à un président russe qui a « déclenché une vague de haine contre les juifs […] pour atteindre ses objectifs politiques ». Et qu'il « soit lui-même antisémite ou non n'a aucune importance ».Les chaos s'entremêlent, le passé est revisité, et « nous voilà », constate le New York Times, à « regarder une nouvelle rotation du cycle, à faire semblant de croire que l'issue pourrait être différente cette fois ». Et le quotidien nous laisse sur cette dernière question : « Si la diplomatie et les relations internationales peuvent approuver ce genre de guerre, dans ce cas, quel est l'intérêt même d'avoir une diplomatie et des relations internationales ? »
In the past week, the entire world has been focusing on the murderous attack by the Hamas organization against the State of Israel and Israel's response to these actions. Hamas has killed 1,300 civilians and soldiers, including children, the elderly, and women. Furthermore, the methods used by Hamas in their killings have displayed an unprecedented level of cruelty, including acts of desecration of the living and the dead, sexual violence, and harming children. Additionally, they have abducted 199 civilians and soldiers. Hamas proudly boasted about these actions, publishing videos on their Telegram channel, exposing the world to their brutality. Israel's response was swift, with the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) launching airstrikes of an intensity not seen before, and there is also the possibility of a ground incursion into Gaza. The IDF takes pride in being a moral army, and to ensure this, several philosophers and theologians have written the IDF's ethical code, which every soldier and officer carries in their pocket. Due to the criticism and intense debates surrounding the conduct of the moral army, I have invited Professor Noam Zohar, who was part of the advisory committee for writing the code, especially focusing on the 'Purity of Arms' section. Together, we will embark on a journey to discuss questions of ethics and warfare in the Israeli military context. Professor Noam Zohar is a distinguished scholar celebrated for his pivotal role in advising the development of the Israel Defense Forces' (IDF) new ethical code, with a particular focus on the critical concept of 'Purity of Arms.' He serves as a Research Fellow at the Shalom Hartman Institute and is a member of the Military Ethics Research Team. At Bar-Ilan University, he holds the position of Associate Professor of Jewish Philosophy, chairs the General Philosophy department, and directs the graduate program in bioethics. His research and teaching encompass a wide array of fields, including rabbinics, philosophy of halakhah, moral and political philosophy, and applied ethics, with a specific emphasis on bioethics and moral considerations in warfare. Professor Zohar's notable publications include Quality of Life in Jewish Bioethics (Lexington Books, 2006) and Alternatives in Jewish Bioethics (State University of New York Press, 1997). He is also the co-editor of the four-volume work The Jewish Political Tradition, alongside Shalom Hartman Institute fellow Menachem Lorberbaum and Michael Walzer.

Furthermore, the methods used by Hamas in their killings have displayed an unprecedented level of cruelty, including acts of desecration of the living and the dead, sexual violence, and harming children. Additionally, they have abducted 199 civilians and soldiers. Hamas proudly boasted about these actions, publishing videos on their Telegram channel, exposing the world to their brutality. Israel's response was swift, with the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) launching airstrikes of an intensity not seen before, and there is also the possibility of a ground incursion into Gaza. The IDF takes pride in being a moral army, and to ensure this, several philosophers and theologians have written the IDF's ethical code, which every soldier and officer carries in their pocket. Due to the criticism and intense debates surrounding the conduct of the moral army, I have invited Professor Noam Zohar, who was part of the advisory committee for writing the code, especially focusing on the 'Purity of Arms' section. Together, we will embark on a journey to discuss questions of ethics and warfare in the Israeli military context. Professor Noam Zohar is a distinguished scholar celebrated for his pivotal role in advising the development of the Israel Defense Forces' (IDF) new ethical code, with a particular focus on the critical concept of 'Purity of Arms.' He serves as a Research Fellow at the Shalom Hartman Institute and is a member of the Military Ethics Research Team. At Bar-Ilan University, he holds the position of Associate Professor of Jewish Philosophy, chairs the General Philosophy department, and directs the graduate program in bioethics. His research and teaching encompass a wide array of fields, including rabbinics, philosophy of halakhah, moral and political philosophy, and applied ethics, with a specific emphasis on bioethics and moral considerations in warfare. Professor Zohar's notable publications include Quality of Life in Jewish Bioethics (Lexington Books, 2006) and Alternatives in Jewish Bioethics (State University of New York Press, 1997). He is also the co-editor of the four-volume work The Jewish Political Tradition, alongside Shalom Hartman Institute fellow Menachem Lorberbaum and Michael Walzer. Dr. Yakir Englander is the National Director of Leadership programs at the Israeli-American Council. He also teaches at the AJR.

Am ieșit din tămbălăul generalizat care este fiecare început de an academic pentru a continua seria noastră despre revoluția franceză. În acest episod urmărim două modele de ruptură socială: prin acte fizice violente (căderea Bastiliei) și prin acte simbolice non-violente (declarația de pe terenul de tenis-care-nu-era-de-fapt-tenis-OPS!). Vom vedea că a doua este mult mai subversivă și că în prima mi-a căzut podul în cap.

Michael Walzer is an eminent political philosopher and the author of numerous books, including Just and Unjust Wars and Spheres of Justice. He is professor emeritus at the Institute of Advanced Study, has taught at Harvard University, and is editor emeritus of the magazine Dissent. In this week's conversation, Yascha Mounk and Michael Walzer discuss why, though he is a democratic socialist, he believes that there are certain acceptable forms of inequality; what forms of injustice true egalitarians should focus on fighting; and the threats to liberalism from the post-liberal right and the illiberal left.

The national purpose of the American state is to realize and then sustain the democracy and the equality that was the promise of our founding. I believe that requires perennial struggle and … groups like Black Lives Matter are an essential part of that struggle … Those are the social movements I hope to join, support, and that I hope will always be qualified by the adjective ‘liberal'. – Michael Walzer, NBN interview (2023) In the 1990 collection What is Justice? Classic and Contemporary Readings edited by Solomon and Murphy and published by Oxford, teachers had a textbook to help introduce students to a broad cross-section of political thinkers ranging from Hobbes to Hegel to Hayek to Mill, Nozick, Rawls, Sandel, Taylor and Walzer among others. It is worth mentioning because Michael Walzer insists he is not a formal philosopher, does not in fact, deserve to be grouped with the likes of a Dewey or a Hegel, as Richard Rorty had done in the introduction of his 1999 collection of essays in Philosophy and Social Hope: ‘Recently Michael Walzer, a political philosopher best known for his earlier work, Spheres of Justice, has come to Hegel's and Dewey's defense. In his more recent book Thick and Thin, Walzer argues that we should not think of the customs and institutions of particular societies as accidental accretions around a common core of universal moral rationality, the transcultural moral law. Rather, we should think of the thick set of customs and institutions as prior, and as what commands moral allegiance.' Rorty's broader point remains as relevant as arguably, the positions of the political philosophers as collected in the Solomon and Murphy reader mentioned above, What is Justice?, which also recognized the appeal of Walzer's ‘very different approach' to the Rawls' paradigmatic A Theory of Justice. That same collection also shares Nozick's critical response to Rawls - mentioned because of the well-known course, ‘Capitalism and Socialism', that Robert Nozick and Michael Walzer taught together at Harvard. A former student, the Washington Post columnist, Brookings senior fellow, and policy professor E.J. Dionne once said: it was one of the best courses he ever took, adding, it was Michael Walzer ‘who very much shaped my view'. A short list of Professor Walzer's book titles include Just and Unjust Wars, Spheres of Justice - A Defense of Pluralism and Equality, The Company of Critics, Thick and Thin - Moral Argument at Home and Abroad, On Toleration, Politics and Passion, The Jewish Political Tradition, The Paradox of Liberation: Secular Revolutions and Religious Counterrevolutions, A Foreign Policy for the Left, as well as a published conversation - Justice is Steady Work: A Conversation on Political Theory - published by Polity in 2020. This interview focuses primarily on his latest book, The Struggle for a Decent Politics: On “Liberal” as an Adjective (2023, Yale University Press) which does much to clarify a simple, yet crucial distinction, between liberal and illiberal sensibilities underlying the pluralism, populism, and polarization today. Michael Walzer is professor emeritus at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, and editor emeritus at Dissent magazine.

It is worth mentioning because Michael Walzer insists he is not a formal philosopher, does not in fact, deserve to be grouped with the likes of a Dewey or a Hegel, as Richard Rorty had done in the introduction of his 1999 collection of essays in Philosophy and Social Hope: ‘Recently Michael Walzer, a political philosopher best known for his earlier work, Spheres of Justice, has come to Hegel's and Dewey's defense. In his more recent book Thick and Thin, Walzer argues that we should not think of the customs and institutions of particular societies as accidental accretions around a common core of universal moral rationality, the transcultural moral law. Rather, we should think of the thick set of customs and institutions as prior, and as what commands moral allegiance.' Rorty's broader point remains as relevant as arguably, the positions of the political philosophers as collected in the Solomon and Murphy reader mentioned above, What is Justice?, which also recognized the appeal of Walzer's ‘very different approach' to the Rawls' paradigmatic A Theory of Justice. That same collection also shares Nozick's critical response to Rawls - mentioned because of the well-known course, ‘Capitalism and Socialism', that Robert Nozick and Michael Walzer taught together at Harvard. A former student, the Washington Post columnist, Brookings senior fellow, and policy professor E.J. Dionne once said: it was one of the best courses he ever took, adding, it was Michael Walzer ‘who very much shaped my view'. A short list of Professor Walzer's book titles include Just and Unjust Wars, Spheres of Justice - A Defense of Pluralism and Equality, The Company of Critics, Thick and Thin - Moral Argument at Home and Abroad, On Toleration, Politics and Passion, The Jewish Political Tradition, The Paradox of Liberation: Secular Revolutions and Religious Counterrevolutions, A Foreign Policy for the Left, as well as a published conversation - Justice is Steady Work: A Conversation on Political Theory - published by Polity in 2020. This interview focuses primarily on his latest book, The Struggle for a Decent Politics: On “Liberal” as an Adjective (2023, Yale University Press) which does much to clarify a simple, yet crucial distinction, between liberal and illiberal sensibilities underlying the pluralism, populism, and polarization today. Michael Walzer is professor emeritus at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, and editor emeritus at Dissent magazine. Professor Walzer studied on a Fulbright Fellowship at Cambridge and completed his PhD in government at Harvard University.

A conversation with Michael Walzer about his recent book, "A Struggle for a Decent Politics: On 'Liberal' as an Adjective" (Yale University Press).
In this video Louis gives a run through of John Rawls' seminal text "A Theory of Justice" published in 1971. A Theory of Justice is a must-read for anyone interested in Anglo-American political theory. It spawned the liberal-communitarian debate which dominated the academy for twenty years and produced some of the most well-known names in political philosophy: Michael Sandel, Alasdair Macintyre, Charles Taylor and Michael Walzer. You've probably heard of the "veil of ignorance" and the "original position" - but just what are these conceptual devices and how do they serve Rawls' argument? Does Rawls succeed in defending welfare-state liberalism, or is his theory simply neoliberal apologia? Listen and find out!

It doesn't have a fixed character. It's a mindset that has to do with a respect for human rights and civil liberties, toleration of different religions, and an ability to live with ambiguity. So, I like the idea of liberal as a qualifier on other and more specific and coherent commitments.Michael WalzerBecome a Patron!Make a one-time Donation to Democracy Paradox.A full transcript is available at www.democracyparadox.com.Michael Walzer is an emeritus professor at the Institute for Advanced Study.

This week Dan talks to historian and UW-alumnus David Harrisville about his new book, The Virtuous Wehrmacht: Crafting the Myth of the German Soldier on the Eastern Front, 1941-1944 (Cornell, 2021). David's research examines the moral and religious worlds of rank-and-file German soldiers during World War II, raising profound questions about the ways humans justify their behavior and how religious commitment shapes action. At the end of the conversation David mentions some recommended further readings on morality, war, and the Wehrmacht, hyperlinked here by author: Michael Walzer, Omer Bartov, Ben Shepherd, and Wolfram Wette. For digital maps made by David to accompany the book, see here. David Harrisville is a graduate of Carleton College and the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where he earned an MA and PhD in Modern European History. David has been a postdoctoral fellow at UW-Madison and a visiting assistant professor at Furman University. He currently works for Legal Services Corporation.
