The fifth volume of The History of Evil covers the twentieth
century from 1900 through 1950. The period saw the maturation of
intellectual movements such as Pragmatism and Phenomenology, and
the full emergence of several new academic disciplines; all these
provided novel intellectual tools that were used to shed light on a
human capacity for evil that was becoming increasingly hard to
ignore. An underlying theme of this volume is the effort to
reconstruct an understanding of human nature after confidence in
its intrinsic goodness and moral character had been shaken by world
events. The chapters in this volume cover globally relevant topics
such as education, propaganda, power, oppression, and genocide, and
include perspectives on evil drawn from across the world.
Theological and atheistic responses to evil are also examined in
the volume. This outstanding treatment of approaches to evil at a
determinative period of modernity will appeal to those with
interests in the intellectual history of the era, as well as to
those with interests in the political, philosophical and
theological movements that matured within it.
