Descripción
Sumario:Our world has become inundated with images of a reality in which 'evil' thrives, and 'good' seems to be a naive, utopian fantasy. 'Good' is reserved for superheroes and children's stories, while the 'real world' is driven by greed, violence, and hatred. If we are so consumed with evil, then is there any point to writing about it? Perhaps the more important question is 'why should we ever stop writing about it?'. 0Towards that end, this volume is intended to act as a catalyst to an ongoing destabilization of mental (philosophical) and social (political, historical) regimes of 'evil' in thought and practice. It is compiled with the intention of saying something new about a very old topic, as a reminder that this is an unfinished conversation which stretches back millennia and has a deeply tangible impact on the worlds within which we live today
