Speaker: Margaret Cuonzo is a Ph.D., Professor of Philosophy Long Island University, New York, USA.
Seminar Title: Paradoxes in Wartime: From Conway Hall to Zoom
Seminar Description: In "Paradoxes in Wartime, " I survey many paradoxes associated with war and, after a brief account of the nature of paradoxes and strategies for giving solutions, separate out the shallower paradoxes of war, many of which present surface inconsistencies (evil/good, chaos/order, etc.) that can be resolved, from the deeper paradoxes, which call into question folk concepts that are central to our everyday lives. I then focus on a few deeper paradoxes, including paradoxes involving deterrence, rational next steps, sunk costs, and others. Lastly, I'll reflect on why war might engender so many different paradoxes.
