Description

Evil in the Western Philosophical Tradition explores the concept of evil as a central problem within Western philosophy. Gavin Rae examines how this issue emerged with the rise of monotheism, tracing its development from early and medieval Christian thought to modern philosophical debates.

The book spans a broad range of philosophical traditions, including German Idealism, post-structuralism, and contemporary analytic philosophy, shedding light on the complex and often contentious nature of evil in Western thought. Through Rae's analysis, readers can gain a deeper understanding of how philosophers have grappled with this fundamental question.
