In today's world where every form of transgression enjoys a
psychological motive and rational justification, psychoanalysis
stands alone in its ability to uncover the hidden motives that
inform individual and social collective behaviour. Both in theory
and practice, it bears witness to the impact of anonymity on the
potential for perpetration, especially when others are experienced
as faceless, disposable objects whose otherness is, at bottom, but
a projection, displacement, and denial of our own interiority-in
short, the evil within. In keeping with this perspective, Ethics of
Evil rejects facile rationalizations of violence; it also rejects
the idea that evil, as a concept, is inscrutable or animated by
demonic forces. Instead, it evaluates the moral framework in which
evil is situated, providing a descriptive understanding of it as a
plurality and a depth psychological perspective on the threat it
poses for our well-being and ways of life. In so doing, it also
fashions and articulates an ethical stance that recognizes the
intrinsic link between human freedom and the potential for evil.
