Seth Lazar, Philosopher and Photographer

This was the first meeting of the Oxford War Group, which I hope will continue to meet annually under the auspices of ELAC and the University of Oxford. Our focus was on Jeff McMahan’s groundbreaking monograph, Killing in War, with new papers written by Yitzhak Benbaji, Tony Coady, Cecile Fabre, John Gardner, Larry May, David Rodin, Cheyney Ryan, and Henry Shue and Janina Dill. Responses were given by postgraduate students and early career academics. The workshop was a great success, and the proceedings are currently under review with a major journal. Besides conceiving of and convening the workshop, my own role was as respondent to Shue and Dill’s paper, and as editor of the subsequent proceedings.
