Charting a sweeping history of evil within the Western philosophical tradition, Gavin Rae shows that the problem of evil - as a conceptual problem - came to the fore with the rise of monotheism. Rae traces the problem of evil from early and Medieval Christian philosophy to modern philosophy, German Idealism, post-structuralism and contemporary analytic philosophy and secularisation.
Gavin Rae is Associate Professor in the Department of Logic and Theoretical Philosophy at the Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Spain. His research interests lie in nineteenth and twentieth century European philosophy, where he works at the intersection of socio-political philosophy, ontology, and ethics. Besides over fifty published articles and book chapters, he is the author of six monographs, the most recent of which are Poststructuralist Agency (Edinburgh University Press, 2020); Critiquing Sovereign Violence (Edinburgh University Press, 2019); Evil in the Western Philosophical Tradition (Edinburgh University Press, 2019); and the co-editor of six edited collections, the most recent of which are Transformation in Contemporary French Theory, edited with Emma Ingala and Cillian モ Fathaigh (Edinburgh University Press, forthcoming), Philosophy across Borders, with Cillian モ Fathaigh (Routledge, forthcoming), and Subjective Agency and Poststructuralism, with Cillian モ Fathaigh (Routledge, forthcoming). He is currently the Principal Investigator for a major four-year project funded by the Spanish Government titled "The Politics of Reason."
