Zusammenfassung:Analyses the history of Western conceptions of evil, showing it to be remarkably complex, differentiated and contestedQuestions any straightforward secular-theology dichotomy by showing that theological motifs, idea, and figures continue to implicitly influence so-called 'secular' thinking on evilDemonstrates the breadth and depth of thinking on evil by looking at thinkers not normally included in this analysis, such as Jacques Lacan and Cornelius CastoriadisRelevant to those working in political philosophy, ethics, metaphysics, philosophy of religion and the history of philosophyCharting a sweeping history of evil within the Western philosophical tradition, Gavin Rae shows that the problem of evil - as a conceptual problem - came to the fore with the rise of monotheism. Rae traces the problem of evil from early and Medieval Christian philosophy to modern philosophy, German Idealism, post-structuralism and contemporary analytic philosophy and secularisation.
