The seven deadly sins have provided gossip, amusement, and the
plots of morality plays for nearly fifteen hundred years. In Wicked
Pleasures, well-known philosopher, business ethicist, and admitted
sinner Robert C. Solomon brings together a varied group of
contributors for a new look at an old catalogue of sins. Solomon
introduces the sins as a group, noting their popularity and
pervasiveness. From the formation of the canon by Pope Gregory the
Great, the seven have survived the sermonizing of the Reformation,
the Inquisition, the Enlightenment, the brief French reign of
supreme reason, the apotheoses of capitalism, communism, secular
humanism and postmodernism, the writings of numerous rabbis and
evangelical moralists, two series in the New York Times, and
several bad movies. Taking their cue from this remarkable history,
the contributors, allowed one sin apiece, provide a non-sermonizing
and relatively light-hearted romp through the domain of the deadly
seven.
