Joseph Wiinikka-Lydon fills an important gap by addressing the question of what is actually 'moral' about 'moral injury.' He not only amplifies the complex phenomenon named 'moral injury, ' but demonstrates how the language of virtue points beyond the moral to the existential.\"\u003cbr\u003e-\u003cb\u003eAristotle Papanikolaou\u003c\/b\u003e, Professor of Theology, Fordham University, USA\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \"This book provides the first application of Iris Murdoch's moral philosophy to the field of War Studies and Trauma.

Drawing specifically on Iris Murdoch's moral philosophy, and examining the experiences of civilians during the Bosnian War (1992-5), Joseph Wiinikka-Lydon argues that current research into war and current understandings of subjectivity need new ways to articulate the moral dimension of being a subject if we are to understand how violence affects one's moral being and development. He develops an understanding of the human person as a \u003ci\u003etensile moral subject\u003c\/i\u003e, one that forefronts the moral challenges and vulnerability inherent in lives affected by war. With these resources, Wiinikka-Lydon argues for a moral vocabulary and images of the human as a moral being that can better articulate the experience of violence and moral injury. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45273837174935,"sku":"9783030329334","price":6243.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783030329334.webp?v=1769237772","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/moral-injury-and-the-promise-of-virtue-9783030329334","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
