Книга: Evil in Modern Thought: An Alternative History of Philosophy by Susan Neiman. Автор прослеживает развитие философской мысли от Лейбница до Арендт, исследуя эволюцию представлений о природе зла.

The word "evil" gets thrown around pretty frequently, especially in connection with certain Axes, but Einstein Forum director and former philosophy professor Susan Neiman reminds us that the existence of evil is a theological and intellectual dilemma through modern Western intellectual history in fact, she argues in her erudite and accessible Evil in Modern Thought: An Alternative History of Philosophy, the question of evil is at the heart of modern philosophy. Neiman looks at how philosophers and writers Leibniz and Arendt, Pope and Sade have sought to explain evil, and traces two divergent strains of thought: one that insists we must try to understand moral evil, and another that maintains we must not.

Is zoophilia immoral? Last time this came up, you and I disagreed about it.

Is immorality tantamount to evil?

See? And yet you say "what's there to doubt about evil?". Is it?

I don't think so. Immorality can be caused by evil, or by ignorance, but it's neither. What do you think?

I think that evil often comes from disdain for the limitations of the human condition.
