Where are the lines between what is legal, what is ethical, and what is moral? Who writes these lines and how rigid are they?
For the individual and the military as an institution, why are these things important?
Are there universals? National? Institutional? Are they at the end of the day, personal?
Is there a hierarchy of ethics? Where do they come in to conflict with loyalty, duty, or mission?
Are there secular ones that come in conflict with religious? How do leaders manage these highly personal - and often high profile - foundational conflicts?
Our guest for the full hour will be Dr. Pauline Shanks Kaurin.
Pauline holds a PhD in Philosophy from Temple University, and is a specialist in military ethics, just war theory, philosophy of law and applied ethics. She is is a professor in the College of Leadership and Ethics at the US Naval War College. Prior to her arrival in Newport, she was Associate Professor and Chair of Philosophy at Pacific Lutheran University in Tacoma, WA and teaches courses in military ethics, warfare, business ethics, social and political.
