This interesting volume focuses on a set of phenomena which
increasingly alarm the political world and public opinion: from the
more obvious ones like torture, disease, human trafficking, abuse,
genocide, displacement, to more subtle forms found in sports,
technology and law. It looks at how and why these phenomena are
universally condemned, and could be considered to threaten the very
foundations of modern democracy; yet continue to be tolerated. The
volume therefore goes beyond what Hannah Arendt has called the
"banality of evil" and discusses the presence of condemned and
heinous practices in society as fluid and chaotic but as
non-trivial; capable of great transmutations through various
epochs. Practices and actions considered as "evil" manifest in
situations where individuals or groups hold power or seize power,
and the contributions in this volume explore the close relation
between power and evil. The volume draws upon sociology,
psychology, cultural studies, political science, as well as
philosophy, theology, anthropology, and neurology of the individual
and of the group to provide a comprehensive understanding of the
multiple facets of evil in the contemporary world.
