cze A Murdochian Approach to Moral Injury To provide some clarity, I put Murdoch’s concept of void in conversation with moral injury. Specifically, I look at moral injury to help develop Murdoch’s claim that often the experience of void results in a keen, profound suffering that requires great effort to face without resorting to fantasy, and in the extreme, to violence. Moral injury here is the name for enduring suffering that insists on transformation and that shatters one’s preconceived notion of one’s relationship to others and the world. The stakes are high, for if one does not face the great difficulty of such a path, one can try to double down on their instinctive tendency to fantasy and even harm others in their bid to return to an old, fantasiacal way of seeing and being. Iris Murdoch; moral injury; suffering
