Laurie Calhoun has been writing on war
since the 1999 bombing of Kosovo. She is a regular contributor to Peace Review,
and her essays have also appeared in Dissent, Peace & Change, the International
Journal of Human Rights, Politics, Ethical Theory & Moral Practice, New
Political Science, the Journal of Social Philosophy, Philosophical Forum,
Dialogos, Journal of Applied Philosophy, The Independent Review, Peace &
Conflict Studies, and elsewhere. She has criticized "just war theory"
and examined the concepts of "terrorism" and "legitimate authority
to kill", in addition to considering whether war can ever be justified
on utilitarian grounds. Calhoun is currently completing work on her second
book, tentatively titled, War & Delusion. Her graduate work was done in
philosophy at Princeton University, and her first book, Philosophy Unmasked:
a skeptic's critique, was published by the University Press of Kansas
in 1997. Calhoun has been active in the American Philosophical Association,
and her writing on war commences from her convictions that the perspectives
of all people are equally valuable, and that the principle of simple consistency
rationally requires governments to allow the policies that they adopt to be
adopted by others as well. Calhoun works as an administrator at the Minda
de Gunzburg Center for European Studies at Harvard University and lives in
Cambridge, Massachusetts.
