The author argues for a definition of tragic dilemmas that responds to philosophical concerns in a Christian context, using insights from the Protestant and Roman Catholic traditions, and in light of psychological evidence of moral injury after combat. Jackson-Meyer suggests that in a tragic dilemma an agent deliberates on, with sufficient knowledge, an issue that involves non-negotiable moral requirements in line with Christian obligations to protect human life and the vulnerable. The agent is morally responsible for the harm caused and/or the obligation not acted upon. However, culpability is mitigated due to the constraints of the situation as long as the agent acts with, what Aquinas calls, "repugnance of the will." Tragic dilemmas are often the result of sin, a reality to which the Augustinian tradition is keenly attuned. When involvement in a tragic dilemma produces emotional harm, this has the power to undermine character because passions and the moral life are inextricably related. In turn, the agent's life is marred. In light of this harm, it is incumbent on Christian communities to offer opportunities for moral healing after tragic dilemmas"--|cProvided by publisher. 588 Description based on print version record and CIP data provided by publisher. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 600 00 Augustine,|cof Hippo, Saint,|d354-430|xEthics. 600 00 Thomas,|cAquinas, Saint,|d1225?-1274|xEthics. 600 07 Thomas,|cAquinas, Saint,|d1225?-1274|2fast 600 07 Augustine,|cof Hippo, Saint,|d354-430|2fast 650 0 Christian ethics. 650 0 Ethics. 650 7 ethics (philosophy)|2aat 650 7 Ethics|2fast 650 7 Christian ethics|2fast 776 08 |iPrint version:|aJackson-Meyer, Kate.|tTragic dilemmas in Christian ethics|dWashington, DC : Georgetown University Press, [2022]|z9781647122669|w(DLC) 2021049820 830 0 Moral traditions series. 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=3285907|zOnline ebook via EBSCO.
