Celebrating The Two Joe's graduation and commiserating their (hopefully temporary) ​departure from the podcasts, we decided to crack open some champagne, turn on the mics and talk about drones. With Nye finally meeting the Two Joes, we turn to look at their final two essays, the first of which explores what phenomenological ethicist and Holocaust survivor, Emmanuel Levinas may have thought about more modern forms of warfare...  

We start with a concise guide to Levinas' philosophy on 'Ethics as First Principle' and the personal and intellectual context for much of his writing - Really useful if you're studying Levinas or want to get an impression of his ideas! After this we chat about war ethics, psychological reactions to catastrophe and continental existentialism.
