Description
The concept of moral evil has long been a subject of philosophical and theological inquiry. Andrew M. Flescher explores four distinct interpretations of evil in his work, drawing on a range of sources to shed light on the nature of this complex issue. Flescher's approach is rooted in traditional dualism, as seen in Manicheanism, but also incorporates elements of theodicy and virtue ethics. He proposes that human agents who commit evil are not outside the norm of human experience, but rather can be shaped by the honing of moral skills and a greater attention to the needs of others. By examining these different perspectives on moral evil, Flescher offers a nuanced and hopeful approach to understanding this fundamental question in philosophy and theology.
