This timely book by philosopher Peter Dews explores the idea of
evil, one of the most problematic terms in the contemporary moral
vocabulary.
* Surveys the intellectual debate on the nature of evil over the
past two hundred years
* Engages with a broad range of discourses and thinkers, from
Kant and the German Idealists, via Schopenhauer and Nietzsche, to
Levinas and Adorno
* Suggests that the concept of moral evil touches on a neuralgic
point in western culture
* Argues that, despite the widespread abuse and political
manipulation of the term 'evil', we cannot do without
it
* Concludes that if we use the concept of evil, we must
acknowledge its religious dimension
