Inhalte/Themen:	This course provides a critical examination of modern warfare by tackling three fundamental questions: What is war and why do states fight? What is it like to fight in war? Does society have a responsibility towards the state, soldiers and veterans? Students will first analyze the political and normative concepts or war, authorization of violence by the state and how Just War Theory is used to establish constraints. The focus then shifts to explore the lived experience of soldiers in armed conflicts to understand the psychological and philosophical dimensions of moral injury. The final section examines the public and cultural management of “ethical debt”. Through systematic evaluation of media (film, memoirs, literature), memorials and political discourse, students will analyze how cultural narratives function as interpretive ascriptions. The course ultimately aims to identify the universal mechanisms by which modern democratic states justify war and translate the cost of war into public memory, recognition and how this process reinforces or challenges the civil-military divide.
