Google Preview: From the concrete experience of war, Michael S. Yandell constructs a phenomenology of "negative revelation" in which false or distorted claims of goodness and justice disintegrate, becoming meaningless. Yandell argues that the disintegration of meaning in war is itself a meaningful experience; "revealing" comes to signify the presence of goodness and justice through the profound experience of their absence. The heart of this work adds a layer of complexity or depth to the term "moral injury" as a negative revelation. Yandell emphasizes the context and logic of war itself beyond the actions of individuals, paying specific attention to the U.S. led Global War on Terror. Moral injury as a negative revelation is a disintegration of false normative claims of goodness and justice, as well as a disintegration of one's sense of self oriented toward those normative claims. This disintegration is prompted by the recognition of life in the midst of war's diminishment of life.; Michael S. Yandell (Ph.D, Emory University) is senior minister at First Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) in Greensboro, North Carolina.; Chapter 1: Anti-life: The Logic of War Chapter 2: Domination as Freedom: Anti-life and Global War Chapter 3: Moral Injury as Negative Revelation, Part I Chapter 4: Moral Injury as Negative Revelation Part II: Chapter 5: Negative Revelation and Turning to Life; Google Preview content
