This collection of 15 essays on various aspects of the problem of
evil brings together the opinions of well known authors from
various disciplines [philosophy, theology, literary criticism,
political science, etc]. This collection brings together a variety
of responses to the ancient questions of whether we are --
individually and collectively -- destined for evil. The history of
the previous century brought this question into the open
morepoignantly than perhaps any other before it. Not surprisingly,
then, what you will find here is a wide spectrum of opinions
concerning the mystery of evil formulated throughout the twentieth
century and at the very threshold of the twenty-first, which has
inherited all of its open wounds and nightmarish memories. The
pieces included here come from diverse fields: philosophy,
religious studies, psychology, history, political science, and art;
they also assume a variety of forms: essays, treatises, stories,
correspondence, and interviews. The reader should not expect that
the pieces collected here offer proven recipes of how to eliminate
evil from the world: rather, they present a compelling testimony of
human struggles with an aspect of our lives we cannot afford to
ignore. Contributors: Sharon Anderson-Gold, Hannah Arendt, Gil
