Some soldiers experience strong emotional
outbursts and bodily discomfort
–
such as disgust,
dizziness, fainting, nausea, vomiting and crying
–
in the moment of committing or witnessing
atrocities. This
dissertation delivers a systematic examination of this complex phenomenon
that
I call “perpetrator disgust”.
The central point of dispute is the moral significance of perpetrator disgust. Does the
perpetrator’s bodily response indicate a subliminal awareness
of the moral wrong of the act?
I argue that perpetrator disgust can in some cases reflect a moral conflict, but warn against
conflating it with a committed moral judgment.
