Evil is sometimes thought to be incomprehensible and abnormal,
falling outside of familiar historical and human processes. And yet
the twentieth century was replete with instances of cruelty on a
massive scale, including systematic torture, murder, and
enslavement of ordinary, innocent human beings. These overwhelming
atrocities included genocide, totalitarianism, the Holocaust, and
the Holodomor. This Element underlines the importance of careful,
truthful historical investigation of the complicated realities of
dark periods in human history; the importance of understanding
these events in terms that give attention to the human experience
of the people who were subject to them and those who perpetrated
them; the question of whether the idea of 'evil' helps us to
confront these periods honestly; and the possibility of improving
our civilization's resilience in the face of the impulses towards
cruelty to other human beings that have so often emerged.
