摘要
道德伤害是指道德主体实施、参与、未能阻止、目击或了解到违反其根深蒂固的道德信念和道德期望的行为而导致的持续的心理、生理、精神、行为和社会影响.西方精神病学专家以实证研究厘清了道德伤害的症状、发生机制,但未能把握到其根本原因.道德伤害源于人们深层的道德信念冲突而导致的道德自我破碎.这就需要伦理学去调节、整合那些信念以达到和谐的状态,从根本上修复道德伤害.伦理学介入道德伤害研究有助于明确道德伤害的定义、揭示道德伤害的本质、提出更具实效性的修复方式.
Abstract
Moral injury refers to the lasting psychological,physiological,spiritual,behavioral,and social effects resul-ting from moral agents perpetrating,participating in,failing to prevent,witnessing,or learning about actions that vi-olate on'es deeply ingrained moral beliefs and ethical expectations.Western psychiatric experts have clarified the symp-toms and mechanisms of moral injury through empirical research,but have failed to grasp its root causes.Moral inju-ry stems from the moral self-shattering caused by conflicts in people's ingrained moral beliefs.This necessitates the intervention of ethics to regulate and integrate those beliefs to achieve a harmonious state,thereby fundamentally re-pairing moral injury.The involvement of ethics in moral injury research helps to clarify the definition of moral injury,reveal its essence,and propose more effective repair methods.
