{"product_id":"philosophy-of-evil-lars-svendsen-9781564785718","title":"Philosophy of Evil","description":"\"It's normal to be evil,\" writes Lars Svendsen, in this latest contribution to contemporary philosophy; the problem is, we've lost the vocabulary to talk about it. Despite its overuse in movies, political speeches, and news reports, the word \"evil\" is generally seen as either flagrant rhetoric or else an outdated concept: a medieval holdover with no bearing on our complex everyday reality. In \u003ci\u003eA philosophy of Evil\u003c\/i\u003e, however, 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. Taking up this problem--how do we speak about evil? \u003ci\u003eA Philosophy of Evil\u003c\/i\u003e treats evil as an ordinary aspect of contemporary life, with implications that are moral, political, and above all, practical. Because, as Svendsen says, \"Evil should never be justifies, should never be explained away--it should be fought.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lars Svendsen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1564785718\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781564785718\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Dalkey Archive Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 306\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 5.50w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/15\/2010 pg. 86\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2010 pg. 11","brand":"Lars Svendsen","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44047107653887,"sku":"9781564785718","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9adcfb1f-f202-40fd-86f6-a9d56c6ce334.jpg?v=1684988301","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/philosophy-of-evil-lars-svendsen-9781564785718","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
