Michael Walzer: "Holy War in the Bible - and After"

Michael Walzer was invited to speak at Stanford University on April 26th, 2012 for the Ethics and War series. Walzer, one of America's foremost political thinkers, speaks at Stanford University about the Holy War tradition in the Bible and later culture. He has played a critical role in the revival of a practical, issue-focused ethics and in the development of a pluralist approach to political and moral life.

The Ethics and War series features philosophers, writers, journalists, historians, social scientists, human rights activists, and policy makers who grapple with the hard moral questions raised by wars
