Handbook - Introduction to Military Ethics

There is a more recent version of this academic item available.

Overview

A changing military environment and developments in wider society combine to make new and increasingly complex ethical demands on Australian Defence Force officers. This course introduces students to ethical theory and debate, develops skills in applying ethics, and analyses various forms of ethical discourse. In order to maintain a practical approach, case studies will be used to introduce the problems to be examined in the course. Studying ethics may not make you a better person, but it will encourage self-awareness, clarity, and ability to engage in ethical dialogue with others inside and outside the military.
