Radical Evil, the second volume in the S series, marks the
two-hundredth anniversary of the publication of Kant's Religion
without the Limits of Reason Alone, where Kant first proposed, and
quickly withdrew in horror, the concept of radical evil-an evil at
the very heart of the ethical problematic. It also marks the recent
publication in English of Lacan's Ethics of Psychoanalysis,
arguably one of the most important and influential of Lacan's
seminars, in which he discusses the rise since the nineteenth
century of a certain 'happiness in evil'. The events of the
twentieth century have made the assertions of both Lacan and Kant
credible and concrete-the Holocaust and the attempts to cast doubt
on its existence, the rise of racism worldwide, the engagement by
philosophers with ethics as critical to relevant issues but without
the consideration of the problems which lead Kant to his formation
of radical evil. The contributors to this volume were asked to
consider radical evil in its philosophical, political and cultural
dimensions. What emerges is a clear introduction to the
problematic, including discussions of the Holocaust, the placement
of homosexuals in concentration camps, the creation of the
Machiavellian in politics and literature-a full and fascinating
exploration of the radical nature of modern evil.
