Publisher Description This book shows the contribution that empathy can and should make to the proper conduct of war. US Army doctrine identifies empathy as an essential trait in soldiers; despite this endorsement of senior leaders, empathys role in the military profession remains obscure. The notion of soldiers empathetically considering others, especially enemies, strikes many as counter to the nature of soldiering. Additionally, confusion caused by differing definitions of empathy often leads to its complete dismissal. This work clarifies the concept by considering recent philosophical, psychological, and neuroscientific research, and demonstrates the relevance of empathy to the tactical and strategic demands of war. Empathy amplifies soldiers understanding of human actors in an operational environment, enables soldiers critical and creative thinking, and improves their overall intentions, planning, and assessments of a wars progress. While empathy can make soldiers more susceptible to the psychic wound of moral injury, it also helps prevent and overcome this injury. Instead of dismissing it, soldiers should assimilate empathy into their moral frameworks. This book will be of much interest to students of the ethics of war, psychology, and military studies generally. Author Biography Kevin R. Cutright is an Academy Professor in the Department of English and Philosophy at the US Military Academy, West Point. His operational experiences have driven his interest in the ethics of military planning and conduct, as well as the moral psychology of soldiers.
