Our current world is filled with friction within and between countries. There are conflicts on every continent on Earth besides Australia and Antarctica. The success of our nation is reliant upon our ability to train well-formed, ethical leaders to navigate the complexities of this dynamic environment. In this installment of our Distinguished Speaker Series, Paul D. Miller, Ph.D., CGSC Foundation’s General Hugh Shelton Distinguished Visiting Chair of Ethics, is joined by Chaplain (Lt. Col.) Derek M. Pottinger, instructor of ethics and world religions at CGSC, in a discussion of Miller’s latest book, Ethics of War: A Short Companion. In the book, Miller discusses just war tradition and the contemporary challenges of the changing shape of modern warfare and offers insight on how to counsel soldiers, elected officials, and citizens in response.
Tickets are $35/person in advance or $40/person at the door.
