Aquinas & Just War with Zach Flanagin

Deepen your ability to read Aquinas by understanding how he structures his arguments, then find out how he lays out the principles for “just wars.” After introductory remarks by a theologian, participants will work in small groups as they consider specific scenarios of conflict, asking how Aquinas' “just war” theory might apply and what course of action Aquinas would recommend.
