| Zusammenfassung: | "This timely book by philosopher Peter Dews explores the idea of evil, one of the most problematic terms in the contemporary moral vocabulary. Despite the widespread abuse and political manipulation of the term. Dews argues that we cannot do without it. Yet our intuitions about evil pull us in different directions. The centrality of the ideal of rational autonomy to our modern self-image makes it hard for us to accept deeply rooted and obscurely destructive motivations. But once having recognized the tenacity of evil, we may find ourselves succumbing to moral paralysis, even despair." |
