Evil: A Very Short Introduction by Luke Russell
With the media bringing us constant tales of terrorism and violence, questions regarding the nature of evil are highly topical. Luke Russell explores the philosophical thinking and psychological evidence behind evil, alongside portrayals of fictional villains, considering why people are evil, and how it goes beyond the normal realms of what is bad.
This is a stark, unequivocal position that forces us to think about where the margin of our ethical relationship with other people liesBut as Russell makes clear from the beginning, evil is by its nature extreme, and it calls us to think about it in the extremity. * Eoghan Smith, Society *
