Information about the current semester
For organisational reasons, it is unfortunately not possible to offer a Interdisciplinary Module (FÜS) on the topic of ‘pacifism’ this semester. However, in light of current political and social developments, the academic examination of pacifist positions and their history remains highly topical and relevant.
As a supplementary resource, I would therefore like to draw your attention to the following compilation of online resources, which offers various perspectives and approaches to different aspects and viewpoints on the subject. This compilation does not claim to be exhaustive, but is intended as a selection of further reading:
