Reader reviews for The Concept of Evil, Volume XXXVI

From the publisher

The Concept of Evil is dedicated to the analysis of the concept of evil. The term "evil" is used widely in ordinary language and yet philosophers have disagreed on what, if anything, distinguishes an evil act from a wrong act or an evil person from a bad one. Is "evil" a distinct and important moral category? Which agents and acts can and should be classified as "evil"? In which areas of practice does evil arise? These questions indicate three essential categories that belong to a thorough analysis of the concept of evil: meta-evil, the nature of evil, and applied evil. The articles presented in this volume provide insight into these categories.

From the rear cover

Truth and Its Deformities is the 32nd volume in the Midwest Studies in Philosophy series. It contains major new contributions on a range of topics related to the general theme of the volume by some of the most important philosophers writing on truth in recent years. It is an international collection of contributors working on such topics as Truth and Meaning, Evidence and Testimony, Bullshit, Truth and Paradox, and Pointless Truth. The list of contributors includes Scott Soames, Susan Haack, Kieran Setiya, Tim Mauldin, Max Kolbel, Marian David, and Paul Horwich. In the tradition of Midwest Studies in Philosophy, this volume should set the terms of the debate on these topics for philosophers for some time to come.
