Any glance at the contemporary history of the world shows that
the problem of evil is a central concern for people everywhere. In
the last few years, terrorist attacks, suicide bombings, and ethnic
and religious wars have only emphasized humanity s seemingly
insatiable capacity for violence. In Feminist Philosophy and the
Problem of Evil, Robin May Schott brings an international group of
contemporary feminist philosophers into debates on evil and
terrorism. The invaluable essays collected here consider
gender-specific evils such as the Salem witch trials, women s
suffering during the Holocaust, mass rape in Bosnia, and repression
under the Taliban, as well as more generalized acts of violence
such as the 9/11 bombings, the Madrid train station bombings, and
violence against political prisoners. Readers of this sobering
volume will find resources for understanding the vulnerability of
human existence and what is at stake in the problem of evil."
