Continuing on on Just and Unjust Wars (1977), ch. 5-6. When might it be morally permissible to strike first? When is it permissible (or obligatory?) to intervene in another country&#39;s internal affairs militarily? We discuss Walzer&#39;s historical examples and apply his theories to current wars.

</h5>
<div class="text-line-clamp text-line-clamp-3 balanced-p fs-8 text-muted text-break">
Concluding our treatment of The Sources of Normativity. We give Korsgaard&#39;s tweaks to Kant, including her distinction between the categorical imperative and the moral law. We then explain her reference to Wittgenstein&#39;s private language argument in her argument that reason-giving, and hence morality, can&#39;t be merely self-referential.
