| 520 | |a This article contributes to the reimagining of Roman Catholic ethics in the twenty-first century, building on the research of Sweeny Block, who argues that the unconscious dimensions of the moral life play a decisive role in moral agency. By taking account of the work of researchers in moral psychology, the traditional boundaries of moral theology can be reimagined to give a more accurate accounting of moral agency, leading to improved work in moral formation. This interdisciplinary approach engages the experiences of Catholic thinkers from the Global South, whose experiences are not usually countenanced in theorising on the nature of morality. The discussion presents a Caribbean refinement of Bandura’s eight mechanisms of moral disengagement, which are amplified and distilled into culturally relevant attitudes captured in the everyday language or speech events of the Jamaican people. Roman Catholic ethics have not treated with the concept of moral disengagement in any meaningful fashion. The amplification of the mechanisms of moral disengagement points to and reinforces the inadequacy of models of moral agency that disregard unconscious dimensions while centring rationality and free will in the face of human fallibility and social contexts that are distorting and deforming. It points to storytelling, an important part of the Caribbean culture, as one way to improve our moral agency by expanding the moral imagination to better form our moral vision. | ||
