Evil has
tong
fascinated psychologists, philosophers,
novelists, and playwrights but remains an incredibly
difficult concept to talk about.
On Evil is a compelling and at times disturbing tour of the
many faces of evil. What is evil and what makes people do
awful things? if we can explain evil, do we explain it away?
Can we imagine the mind of a serial killer, or does it defy
description? Does evil depend on a contrast with good, as
religion tells us? Can there be evil for evil s sake?
Urging caution in our use of the word, Adam Morton argues
that any account of evil must help us understand three
things: why evil occurs; why evil often arises out of banal
or everyday situations; and how can be seen as evil.
Drawing on fascinating examples as diverse as St Augustine,
Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and profiles of serial killers,
Adam Morton argues that evil occurs when internal mental
barriers against it break down. Introducing us to some
nightmare people, such as Adolf
Eichmann
and Hannibal
Lecter, he also reminds us that whilst their behaviour may
be monstrous, it is only understanding their actions as
human that will bring us closer to a proper understanding
of evil.
Exciting and thought-provoking, On Evil is essential reading
for anyone interested in a topic that both attracts and repels
us in equal measure.
