Phil Miller, The Glasgow Herald Zusammenfassung In A Philosophy of Evil, acclaimed philosopher Lars Svendsen argues that evil remains a concrete moral problem: that we’re all its victims, and all guilty of committing evil acts. A Philosophy of Evil treats evil as an ordinary aspect of contemporary life, with implications that are moral, practical, and above all, political.
