Might and Right Among Nations


Themes
An exploration of the issue of justice among nations. Is such justice genuine or is it largely spurious? If it is genuine, what are its criteria? To what extent are nations bound to consider the good of other nations, and to what extent is it reasonable to expect them to do so? What are the prospects for a just international order? We will proceed through a careful examination and thorough discussion of texts by Thucydides, Machiavelli, Rousseau, Kant, and other first-rate thinkers on these issues.
