The first section deals directly with Dr. Peter A. French's teaching experience and the specific challenges posed by teaching applied and theoretical ethics to men and women wrestling with the immediate and personal moral conflicts occasioned by the dissonance of their duties as military officers with their religious convictions. The following chapters grew out of philosophical discussions with these chaplains regarding specific ethical issues surrounding the Iraq War, including the nature of moral evil, forgiveness, mercy, retributive punishment, honor, torture, responsibility, and just war theory. This book represents a unique viewpoint on the philosophical problems of war, illuminating the devastating toll combat experiences take on both an individual's sense of identity and a society's professed moral code"--Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a The two-collar conflict : a philosopher's memoir of the Iraq War -- Our better angels have broken wings : human nature and the nature of evil -- Responsibility for innocence lost -- Virtuous responses to moral evil -- Assessing attempts at moral originality -- Public and private honor, shame, and the appraising audience -- Torture -- Community and worthwhile living in Second Life -- Of merels and morals : musts and oughts -- Inference gaps in moral assessment : individuals, organizations, and institutions -- Blaming whole populations : the American people and the Iraq War -- The moral challenge of collective memories -- Corporate responsibility and punishment redux -- Mission creep. 650 0 $a Iraq War, 2003- $x Moral and ethical aspects. 650 0 $a War $x Moral and ethical aspects. 650 0 $a Iraq War, 2003- $x Psychological aspects. 650 0 $a Iraq War, 2003- $x Chaplains $z United States. 610 10 $a United States. $b Marine Corps $x Chaplains. 610 10 $a United States. $b Navy $x Chaplains. 650 0 $a Military chaplains $x Professional ethics $z United States. 600 10 $a French, Peter A. 650 0 $a Military ethics $x Study and teaching $z United States. 651 0 $a United States $x Moral conditions. 856 42 $3 Contributor biographical information $u http://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1010/2010023740-b.html 856 42 $3 Publisher description $u http://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1010/2010023740-d.html 856 41 $3 Table of contents only $u http://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1010/2010023740-t.html 941 $a 1 952 $l OZAX845 $d 20240525040621.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=BA3009B0EE4E11E0BFB3B9EB6AFF544EInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
