Torture, evil and moral development

Pages 1-16 | Published online: 02 Mar 2015
 

Notes

1. The Washington Post has an interactive story about the torture report outlining the main conclusions, which has links to quotes from internal CIA memos and emails. ‘Senate report on CIA program details brutality, dishonesty,’ http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/senate-report-on-cia-program-details-brutality-dishonesty/2014/12/09/1075c726-7f0e-11e4-9f38-95a187e4c1f7_story.html

2. Of course, there is an exchange of life within nature; death of one is nourishment for another, suggesting that suffering is built into the scheme of things. But in indigenous societies such as Native American, taking prey for food is considered a matter of permission and gift from prey to predator.

3. ‘With respect to rescuers, we found that those who aided persecuted people acted in ways best conceptualized in terms of the ordinariness of goodness’ (Rochat & Modigliani, Citation1995 p. 198).

4. In fact, small-band hunter-gatherers got rid of dangerous community members with expulsion or killing (for murderers).

5. For more on ethical theory that can counter military evil, see Snow (Citation2009).
