This symposium appears in the Philosophical Studies, guest edited by Helen Frowe and Massimo Renzo (volume 178. issue 11). It follows as a result of the ‘Conversations on War’ project, co-organsed by SCEWP and the Kings College, London’s Yeoh Tiong Lay Centre for Politics, Philosophy, and Law. The Conversations on War project explores how philosophers working on the ethics of war can draw on research in other areas of philosophy to improve our accounts of harming in war and how research on the ethics of war might challenge or illuminate work in those other areas.
