Explaining Evil [3 Volumes]J. Harold Ellens Bloomsbury Academic, 18 февр. 2011 г. - Всего страниц: 1056 In this three-volume set, international scholars from across a broad spectrum of scholarly fields examine the concept of evil throughout history and world cultures from religious, scientific, psychological, and political perspectives. Explaining Evil addresses incidents of evil from ancient times to modern day around the globe. Concepts of evil within the big three religions--Christianity, Judaism, and Islam--are examined, as well as in Chinese philosophy and Native American beliefs. The political or national expressions of evil are explored, such as the "axis of evil" that culminated in World War II. These volumes identify the causes and effects of evil, and suggest possible remedies to humanity's inescapable flaw.
