Publisher's Synopsis

What role should the idea of evil have in contemporary moral and social thought? The concept of 'evil' has long been a key idea in moral discourse. Intuitively, we know what evil means. Now, the contributors to this volume make a start on the important task of systematically exploring evil in the context of political theory.
