What makes someone an evil person? How are evil people different
from merely bad people? Do evil people really exist? Can we make
sense of evil people if we mythologize them? Do evil people take
pleasure in the suffering of others? Can evil people be redeemed?
Peter Brian Barry answers these questions by examining a wide range
of works from renowned authors, including works of literature by
Kazuo Ishiguro, Mark Twain, Edgar Allan Poe, Herman Melville, and
Oscar Wilde alongside classic works of philosophy by Nietzsche and
Aristotle. By considering great texts from literature and
philosophy, Barry examines whether evil is merely a fiction. The
Fiction of Evil explores how the study of literature can contribute
to the study of metaphysics and ethics and it is essential reading
for those studying the concept of evil or philosophy of literature
at undergraduate level.
