title = {War and Negative Revelation},
year = {2022},
note = {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.},
