With formal ethics training programs being a rarity in most countries’ armed forces, there is a growing importance for servicemen to undergo additional military ethics training, including lessons in ’core warrior values’.However, whilst it is one thing to say that soldiers will have to undergo ethics training, it is quite another to ensure that they learn the right lessons from it. Furthermore, it is clear from a survey of ethics training programs in place in various nations that there is no uniformity of approach, a lack of coherence even within programs, let alone between t

Wars against Freud have been waged along virtually every front during the past decade. Now Paul Robinson takes on three of Freud’s most formidable critics, mounting a thoughtful, witty, and ultimately devastating critique of the historian of science Frank Sulloway, the psychoanalyst Jeffrey Masson, and the philosopher Adolf Grnbaum. Frank Sulloway contends that Freud took most of his ideas from Darwin and other contemporary thinkersthat he was something of a closet biologist. Jeffrey Masson charges that Freud caved in to peer pressure when he abandoned his early

This study presents the first examination of the influence of ideas of honour on the causes, conduct and ending of wars from Ancient Greece to the present day. Paul Robinson begins with a theoretical examination of the concept of honour, to clearly explain the many contradictions and tensions inherent within honour systems. He then shows how honour has often contradictory and paradoxical effects on the conduct of war and illustrates this through seven case studies: Classical Greece; Ancient Rome; mediaeval Chivalry; Elizabethan England; the American Civil War; the British Empire; and the W
