The second volume of The History of Evil explores the philosophy of
evil in the long Middle Ages. Starting from the Augustinian theme
of evil as a deprivation or perversion of what is good, this period
saw the maturation of concepts of natural evil, of evil as sin
involving the will, and of malicious agents aiming to increase evil
in general and sin in particular. Comprising fifteen chapters, the
contributions address key figures of the Christian Middle Ages or
traditions sharing some similar cultural backgrounds, such as
medieval Judaism and Islam. Other chapters examine contemporaneous
developments in the Middle East, China, India and Japan. The volume
concludes with an overview of contemporary transpositions of Dante,
illustrating the remarkable cultural influence of medieval accounts
of evil today. This outstanding treatment of the history of evil at
the crucial and determinative inception of its key concepts will
appeal to those with particular interests in the ideas of evil and
good.
